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:

Interview with Osin Murphy after the race/

Oisin Murphy apologised for his “jockey error” as he came to terms with Kameko’s luckless passage in the Qatar Sussex Stakes.

The champion jockey found himself badly short of racing room in the showpiece Group One on day two of Glorious Goodwood – and after finishing a three-and-a-quarter-length fourth, Murphy was left feeling the best horse had not won the race.

While Kameko was boxed in as the race developed in the straight, Marcus Tregoning’s Mohaather produced an electric turn of foot to sweep past the field on the outside for a memorable success under Jim Crowley.

Murphy was positioned behind the front-running Circus Maximus, who went on to finish runner-up in the race for a second successive year.

After failing to find any daylight when he needed it, Kameko still could not get a clear run even when switched out.

Murphy said: “I couldn’t find any room up the straight and I felt like the best horse didn’t win on the day.
“Unfortunately, these things happen sometimes – and it is jockey error. ”

He retains great belief in Andrew Balding’s 2000 Guineas winner.
“Kameko jumped very smart,” added Murphy.
“Obviously, I wanted to take a lead and I thought Circus Maximus would make the running.
“I hope then horse is sound in the morning, and he lives to fight another day.
“Apologies to his connections. A lot of hard work goes into preparing these horses, and nobody wants hard-luck stories.
“You saw the way he travelled, and I was full of horse for most of the race.”

Balding too was left ruing Kameko’s misfortune as he reflected on events immediately post-race.
“I have only seen it once with the naked eye, and I would have to watch it again, but he looked unlucky,” said the Kingsclere trainer.
“He has finished on the heels of them, and Oisin was a bit unlucky on him, but it happens round here.”

With this rain coming does dampen my interest in Peregrine Run.

Might change my selection to Three Musketeers with Easy Game and possibly Jett in close attendance.

Peregrine Run

I like him as well peregrine. :up:

JT

I am sure he was Slogan and indeed a very talented horse and my congratulations to the connections of this horse and I mean this sincerely ,

My issue was the ride that Osin Murphy gave Kameko.

For instance look at Siskin, a far worst position out the back and Mohaather was not fortunate in his race position during the race however look how Jim Crowley and Colin Keane overcome these issues through good race riding and took their mounts into the race. That is the difference for me. Fine margins.

JT

Unlucky there peregrine, bumped into a very useful horse there. Still each way so no loss. :up:

JT

Oh dear, the run of the race went against Hollie there and did not get the rub of the green.

Not the best ride I have seen her given a horse but these things happen we all have days when things do not go your way.

Unlucky 2nd.

Maybe peregrine and he could do this after the Arc possibly but could Gosden have a decent type in the pipeline and here we go again, he might have to postpone any retirement plans until say 52.

Only one man knows Mr Dettori. :up:

JT

Oh yes agreed peregrine, Dettori is not a jockey, I would want to fight out a place,win yes, one of the best.:up:

JT

Jockey in the stall next to him threw the hood off on the breakout of the stalls and landed on Dettori, then did not get the rub of the green in the race and almost ran up the backside of the favourite Space Blues.

Despite this ran on well but was never going to win, the damage was likely done earlier in the race, if indeed this has cost him anything more than a place.

Space Blues took his race well and deserved his success. I was on Duke of Hazzard but would not have beat Space Blues today. :sad:
