cpo Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread French racing is crap. Great ride from Buick but what the hell is Lemaire doing on Dunaden having him that far back. Chapman is right on ATR saying they are clueless. I have watched 3 races over in Chantilly now and all of them had no pace whatsoever. Laugh out Loud won from the front riding everyone else to sleep and Buick has just done it there. The bumper cars race was just a joke as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickf88 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Any opinions on the 4:55 at Cartmel? I'm in shock, thought Pasture Bay was going to cruise home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithbeaky Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Buick's rode some shockers this season. I dont think Gatewood did him any favours out the stalls at Epsom. Since then the ride on Aiken on Sunday and Tropical Beat tonight were both very, very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickf88 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Oh good god, Marco Demuro in the 4.40 at Wolverhampton. No money on it thank god but he's ridden the horse out a circuit early and eased the horse down thinking he's won by 4 lengths or so. Mark Johnston won't be happy....

jayalexander Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Frankie rides another stinker on the 7/4 fav in the 4:50. Out in front with hands and heels, blissfully unaware that he's about to get pipped at the post by the fast approaching and hard-working 10/1 with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Dear oh dear!

Dear oh dear![/quote'] Personally don't like him on favourites, always seems to pull big price winners out the bag though. Thought he had that from the front but didn't seem to find much at the business end, whether that be Frankie or the horse itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavlar17 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread I don't know how u lads feel, but I'm very, very reluctant to back any horse Frankie is on at the moment. I feel like his attitude is minging and has many have said before, he just gives up far too easy! When I'm backing a nag I expect the jockey to give it every chance of winning which means riding ride out to finish (where reasonable anyway). I'm probably too young to remember any of his big, big wins but nowadays I don't feel he's up to it or that he gives two hoots. Anyway, sounds like I need to watch a clip of the 4:40 at Wolverhampton. How?!?! Just how does a jockey ride out a whole circuit early?!?! Haha! Unbelievable Jeff!

Bathtime For Rupert Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread It all makes sense now because he was rowing him along very early - I assumed to get into the lead with a reluctant horse with the visor on but obviously he was desperate because he thought there wasn't long to race! Surely you know if the race is 6f or 1m6f before you start, though, surely?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickf88 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread He must have thought it was the easiest win of his career coming towards the 'finish' line first time around :rollin, what surprised me the most was how long it took him to realise the race was still going on whilst he was pulling up the horse! 12 day ban as well, and then gets beaten by a 100/1 shot in the last at Wolves when he was on the 13/8 favourite, bad day all round really for Demuro, who's clearly better than that.

No money on it thank god but he's ridden the horse out a circuit early and eased the horse down thinking he's won by 4 lengths or so. Mark Johnston won't be happy....[/quote'] Its a common mistake at Wolverhampton , happens all the time. Banned jockey Dean Mernagh used to ride a circuit too early all the time there amongst other jockeys. I remember 12 years ago R Ffrench easing up far too early onboard Mark Johnstons Happy Diamond , and getting beat by Kim Tinkler ( female jockey ) on a Don Corleone trained donkey , so even though M Johnston will not be happy , I don't think it will ruin the fruitful partnership because R Ffrench continued to ride for him.

robertob Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Looks as if I have no luck in French races whatsoever but seriously what a poor ride was that by Ryan Moore on Up?! Switching here, switching there, running the horse from trouble into even more trouble instead of seeking the clear run on the outside when the chance was definitely there to do so. Gutted.

robertob Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Watched the race again and have to admit I've been a bit harsh with my critics maybe... it was just bad luck in-running and I can't blame Ryan Moore for it. Still a very, very unlucky race for Up who travelled very well and looked as if she'd have a big say about the outcome of the race. http://youtu.be/he-l7SbPC9Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithbeaky Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Re: The Jockey Thread Obviously you noticed her hanging a bit too? Its just a ridiculous course to run a G1 with that many runners.
