2nd again. :shade:

Stewards followed it by the rule book Stevie and totally agree could have caused a serious situation for both the horses and jockeys.

We could learn a lot from the US and Canada. Over there he would have been thrown out.

I had the 2nd but knew they could never overturn that result but very clever of young Tom on the second who knew he could not win but rode out to get as close to him as he could to benefit him in the stewards room.

Very talented jockey this lad. He will land a big job in the future.

Always difficult to beat the Peter O'Sullevan commentary.

One day when Malcolm Bastard (as opposed to queasier colleagues who preferred Bas-tard) he was riding for the trainer Pam Sly and he said 'It's another win for the Sly-Bastard combination'.

On the BBC :gasp:

JT

He found trouble peregrine but really do not feel he would have troubled the winner.

I appreciate Osin Murphy coming out and admitting he was at fault.

However if you make too many mistakes then you may have to replaced by a more reliable jockey and I get we will all make mistakes however that is two mistakes in a row and he will be nervous next time to avoid any further mistakes which will put him under even more pressure.

He is a good professional but on these "high profile horses/races" you will get found out if you do not perform to your near or very best and as I said earlier it is a results business,

Forget me and my bet that is not important and he may have been beaten by the winner anyway even with a clear run but imagine if you owned trained or worked with this horse for months prior to the race preparing for the big day, I imagine their loss is much greater.

Anyway, it is just a sporting event and worse things can happen. Main thing is the horse is sound and everyone is safe and well which is more important.

Have a good week at Goodwood everyone and enjoy your racing and if you can make a few quid, wonderful. :up:
