    It is interesting that the reason given for Joseph not riding is that he cannot do the weight - Camelot will carry 8-11. According to his Thoroughbred Business Guide entry (granted this was printed earlier in the year) he is listed with a minimum weight of 8-10.

    Aidan said only a few days ago that the minimum he can do these days is 8-13 so perhaps the weight issues are starting to kick in. He is going to have to be very careful as the fixed weight for the Classics is 9-0 so if he creeps up any higher he will be next to unusable as a Flat jockey.

    Coolmore are starting to send a few horses into bumpers - I think they had one entered today at Sligo. Maybe Dad will get a few more Istabraq's and Joseph can ride a Champion Hurdler???

    They always have done Oddy and they are almost always NH bred rather than flat cast offs,specifically for JP Magnier to ride....poor old Joseph won't get a look in!

    Why all those guesses when the answer was in the post? Or were you all just in a jovial mood?
