mileni4uk Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Aye that was different class. Not quite sure it was the best ride ever' date=' but it was top, top drawer[/quote'] He had to do so many different things, I've never seen a better ride myself. Horse is so brave though.

switzerland Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread I'm sure the lad from the stable who had an accumulator on this lot at big prices thought it was the best ride ever - Bobs Worth, Simonsig, Finnans Rainbow and Sprinter Sacre all running onto Riverside Theatre.

mowgli77 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread If you wanted to see 2 completely contrasting rides then compare AP's ride on Synchronised with the tender handling of Bellvano by Paul Carberry in the last race. He was told to hold onto it as long as possible and face getting slated for being too cocky on it, ride it like its a piece of work was mentioned in interviews afterwards. It was travelling well but reportedly finds little when shoved along and would probably not have got a response had it been ridden like Synchronised was. Both winners, both completely different rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertob Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Super ride by Richard Hills on Sharaayeen in the 3.00 at Meydan. He gets always so much stick. Rather more than less deserved, but that was a really good ride indeed. Confident and patient... he did everything right in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidymac Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread James Reveley on Night In Milan. Shocking ride , if i had backed that horse i would be livid.

andyjkmak Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread I am a big Adam Kirby fan but what on earth was he doing on Beneath there. Maybe that was the instruction but seems very strange to blast out so quickly over 1M 4F for a horse that is either held up or ridden just off the pace...strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuSimmy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Thought Martin Lane gave the Absent Mare far too much to do. Was a definite eyecatcher today in the 17:20 after "running home with a wet sail" as the commentator put it, but was far too late to even get near the winner having got first run.

Such fine fine margins - we've both commented on what a good ride it was, but he could've timed it a split second differently and lost by a nose, and people'd be saying he fecked it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertob Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Hilarious! George Gorman missed the last fence in the 5.00 at Newbury and it looked like as he didn't realize the mistake. He even punched in the air after crossing the line as he was obviously very happy with his performance. Brilliant! Ride of the year! :lol But super ride by Paul Hanagan on Prohibition in the last at Lingfield. Great so see him pumped with confidence. Waited patiently for the gap and then steered home his mount. Very, very good ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertob Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread No critics regarding a specific ride but if I see Robert L. Butler I always wonder who (and why) gives him rides? I mean he looks so weak in the finish, similar to a female 7lb apprentice who has the first ride ever. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wong Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Anyone see the ride Amy Ryan gave shifting gold at Southwell in the 3.40. Out the back pushing away all the way round, never gave up, penny dropped in the final furlong for the horse, got up in the last few strides. Peach!

erhaab1965 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Sarcasm i gather? Lol Not at all . I enjoy watching top class jockeys as well as the ones at the bottom of the ladder. Infact sometimes I have a bigger smile on my face when I see the Anne Stokells ,Marc Halford's , Saleem Golam's etc have winners. She is obviously not a top jockey or even one worth following from a punting point of view. However I do applaud her persistence in the sport and it gives hope to the ordinary man in the street that they can achieve what they strive for with determination.
