Bob...I fear my wife has already replaced me with her "tupperware"! Agree about JO'B..he is a good pilot but targeted by association.
Has definately got better with experienced as he should but he does do a good job with so much pressure put on him not just because of te calibre of horses but because he is his son! He still makes the few mistakes but who doesn't even Ryan makes one or two but JoB does his job well
Nowt wrong wi Joseph - how many kids with rich dads sit around all day doing feck all on "whats app" rather than doing something useful and productive? Fair play to him, he's doing alright and no doubt making his dad proud
You'll not see many better rides on the flat this year than his Ascot Gold Cup winning ride on Leading Light. Keeping Ryan boxed in on Estimate for those extra few strides were the winning of the race. But yes Dexter sadly you've hit the nail on the head!
He is very strong Beefy and that ride was immense...hard to imagine Kelly,Durcan,Fanning or Lee getting that one home...four wet dishclothes. Familial ties are part of racing,always have been. Sir Henry was set up by his step father in law and Lester started out riding for his Dad...couple of legends there! Anymore for anymore?
Crazy K.O. time in La Liga tonight. Tomorrow isn't a bank holiday and yet Levante are handed an 11pm slot local time...no surprise the place is half empty. Away support isn't an issue since apart from exiled workers in a given city,no one really travels aside from derby games. RIP (Sir) Dickie.
Hills x several,Fozzy Stack,Nicky Richards,Amanda Perret,Dunlops x 2,Henry De Bromhead,Mullins x loads,Arthur Moore,Jim Dreaper,Andrew Balding,etc!
when karl burke got banned he transfered his business to elaine--like jeff pierce to lydia etc at the moment paul blockley is banned -but jo hughes sems to do okay...very nepotistic business is the racing game-- its all about connections...does have its downsides, david burchell was an awful jockey ,dai burchell the trainer has improved his stats since that 'partnership' ended...
I have to disagree about J O'B he's almost as bad as Spencer and if anything he gets more credit than he deserves because of his dad not the other way round. Obviously we all have our opinions but if A O'B had more than one runner in a race I'd be avoiding the one Joseph is on everytime
