Betfair Eddie

AHERN WAFC. Had a very big place bet....................WAYNEKER.

1.8 in running!!!!

Doing more pulling then pushing and a gap the size of the grand canyon in front of him.

Oh dear.
Looked like a gap appeared he wasn't expecting.

They don't come much more blatant than that.

He didn't want that to win, did he?, the sooner they get rid of him the better.
That's the first time I've come on here and knocked a jock, shocking and blatant that

you cant say that AD

Chapman is more or less saying the same.

Barney Curley Retires, Betfair Eddie in front of the disciplinary committee

Frankie gone into the CBB, TPQ gone to S.A ...Scattering to all corners i wonder why?

Watched and watched it, and still can't believe he did not place, and just realised I had him in my placepot.

why dont atr try to get him on to explain,dont believe chapmans crocodile tears.

he is a rotten **** , had 300euro ew on it myself, he should already be stood for what he is up for and that simon dow must not be up to much for putting him on a horse

ATR interviewers are only allowed to say "Great ride!" - anything else FAR too controversial..

ride referred to the BHA...another for the collection

i just saw the ride that was blatant

Eddie HAS been referred to the BHA.
Is somebody out to get him       

feel for you mick, place was guaranteed, and the win was pretty close to it.

Looks like he may as well buy a season ticket to the BHA

Nobody missed that "effort" by the jockey there,punters robbed.

No wonder Harry Rogers told him to go **** himself in Leopardstown 7 or 8 years ago. Harry knew his horse should have won instead of finishing 10th or 11.

Lingfield Park, 9 January 2013

1.00, second race

Eddie Ahern, the rider of SQUAD, unplaced, reported that the gelding was denied a clear run

not referred to the BHA now

you have to yourself why cecil lets him up on horses too , the whole of racing is rotten really

Chapman been told to zip it

Now not referred.
Wtf.

Eddie don't care anymore, he knows the game is up and he'll get the hook for good after his hearing. Taking any money he can these days, retirement fund so to speak.

------------------
It was the bit after that,sat like a wet lettuce when the gap appeared.

Betfair Eddie, the rider of SQUID, unplaced, reported that the gelding was denied a clear run as he rode it up the arris of other horses. When in the clear Betfair Eddie said he was a bit tired and forgot he had a whip. The stewards thanked him for clearing things up

Bendy Bully retires juat as the sh1t hits the fan with betfair Eddy

Unrelated of course as are the rest of the Irish mob under his wing

Just had a good look back at it and in my humble opinion, hard to say there was anything dodgy about it.

He's a bit wide on the approach to the straight and not unreasonably (to avoid being quite wide into the straight) he cuts back in. Once in the straight it just doesn't open up for him.

Now had he wanted to stop the horse, he could have just stayed where he was in the pocket, but he does look to pull out and does so, but from the side-on view (and of course it is a short straight) there isn't time to recover.

It didn't look great from the head-on view, but from the side view (and there's probably also an element of him realising it's a hopeless cause as they were deep into the final furlong), he does push out firmly enough imo.

n summary, he had the choice between going quite wide into the straight or taking his chance through the field. He chose the latter and it didn't work out because the gaps didn't open. Hard to argue in this instance (imo) he was anything other than just plain unlucky.

Just my humble opinion, mad dog man, you're free to give your own detailed account of what you thought happened.

for a man of his experience it's a ridiculous effort, at what point during the home straight does he want to engage full stride from the horse..10 yards from the line? It's not good enough, it's failure to ensure his mount finishes to it's best position and it deserved a ban.

Seemed to be following Luke Morris around for some reason even after he'd bumped it a few times on the way round

Only a piece of real filth would get done for assaulting a filly.

As Eddie has been.

Jack Sullivan (Eddie Ahern, Lingfield, 5/6 fav) was steadied at the start but soon pulled himself on to the heels of the leaders. When he was looking for a run approaching the furlong marker he found himself trapped on the inside behind the winner, hemmed in by Vicious Warrior, but when he found room the response was limited.

Should add he was fourth on this occasion. Place lay.

betfair eddie is aware the trap is closing on him

i would not touch anything he rides with a bargepole from here on in

Why do Trainers and owners still allow him to ride their horses is beyond me
