Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Many jockeys go a lifetime without ever riding four winners on a card. At the tender age of just 20, with less than a year’s professional race riding under her belt, Brooke Johnson did it at Bowen on the weekend. Oh, and from just 4 rides too. Strike rate 100%. It is an outstanding achievement, […]
I still can’t see it. Perhaps competitive riding is now a racing crime.
I still can’t see it, can you? It looks to me like just a strong ride. Back view to follow.
Kyle Wilson-Taylor is in the white sleeves and gold cap. Did he come in 0n top of the horse in the dark blue cap and cause it to check off the leader’s heels? Or was it already on the fence and he just took the run that was there? It’s hard to tell without a […]
Armour Force – owned by the in the news club Chairman Tom Hedley – was backed off the map in the 4th at Cairns yesterday, from $1.75 into $1.45. C0nversely it was laid to lose/win a fortune by the bookies on Betfair. A whole lot of people reckon jockey Ryan Wiggins rode Armour Force dead. […]
This is the David Tootell fall at Port Augusta today. As strange as it may sound, Tootel is a very lucky man. When is this all going to stop? Yesterday would be good.
Young rider Dan McGillivray went down at Beaudesert yesterday afternoon in race 6. He was airlifted to hospital. His colleagues were so worried about him that they elected not to ride after he fell, and the meeting was abandoned. Fortunately while McGillivray has suffered serious injuries he has survived relatively intact. This is like a […]
Brett Murray is not a real good jockey. In 10 seasons he has ridden just 83 winners, at a strike rate of 4.3%. Kavish Chowdhoory (pictured below) is a good jock, a real good one, far better than B. Murray. He has ridden 188 winners that won double the money that Murray’s have in just […]
Eszter Jeles, another racing tragedy. Look out for each other riders, so others will look out for you. Jockeys are falling all over the place. Tragically some of them are dying. Others are walking into trees because they have lost their fine motor skills. It is ever jockey’s responsibility to ride safely, apprentices and all. […]
It seems that having a dig was all the rage on the weekend from what I hear. They say a bit of a verbal blew up at the Brisbane races between a jock with the initials Damien Thornton and another with the initials Jaden Lloyd. It may or may not have had something to do […]
