That's a popular misconception,

the pair of them quickened 2 lengths clear and that was a sprint,

the winning jockey just caught the 2nd napping !

He's a young guy born with one ear who, against the odds, rode some pony race winners and persuaded the BHA to give him a licence.

Even if he wasn't brilliant, can we 'cut him some slack'?

No!

Agree some what with the person defending him because of his disability, However he is competing in competitive races, whilst not taking a fee, he is riding under rules and I'm sure he'll admit he rode too confidently and got caught napping when the winner went up his inner. Only human error, but any race reader or realist would be of the opinion, had he kicked instead of**ing his dock trying to look pretty he would have won.

he will not be the last to not look as strong as Simon Walker thought he looked alright by amateur standards

Hang on ? lets not treat him like a banker?

This is not the first time he has done it...

get the rope!!!!

Christ what a lot of pocket tossing carp on here from people who should know better but only display their lack of knowledge.

Miss Firefly is a horse that has always been hard to win with and as soon as it sees the front it wants to stop. In 26 goes Miss Firefly has only won one race and that was for today´s amateur. The guy did nothing wrong today, he just found himself in front too soon and the horse idled as it alway does. If had kicked it would have found little and just been a sitting target for the winner who also needs to come late.

an interesting theory, but its not borne out by watching his two rides on the horse (it also doesn't help if you get the stats wrong; it has won 1/26 on the turf, but also 1/13 on the AW before today)

today

travelled handily on the rail, and just after the 2f pole jockey was looking outside him for dangers and did not ask for an effort until Ride a Swan came through on his left with under 1f to run

previous run

travelled midfield on the rail, eased out and taken four wide and ridden for the full length of the straight.

if he had ridden like that today I am sure the horse would have won, but he obviously thought time was on his side as the horses he could see were all flat out. it was a mistake, but an understandable one. the horse is tricky to win with, not because it stops or won't go by, but because its not very quick. for instance it went past the targeted horses here:

but got pipped on the outside by an unseen fast finisher.
