McCoy's favourite line to the pundits. And one used by almost all of the weighing room.
The inabilty of the RUK dynamic duo to understand Laura Probert's exhaustion yesterday was deeply disappointing. It is to be hoped that the young woman gets more chances from her boss.
Pause Switch to Standard View the how many winners have you ridden...

ybor, if you think she shouldn't have won yesterday, suggest you find a new job.

Probert would get 10 x as exhausted riding morning work, and you know it.

Reminds of a story about Ian Botham, when out with team mates for a meal he kept pronouncing dolcelatte cheese incorrectly, one of his team mates to try to save him embarrasment quietly corrected him to be met with the reply from Beefy, "oh yeh, how many 1st class wickets have u got?".

I thought in 2006 that a retired jockey many winners would be ideal to advise me betting in running.

After 1 month I could see that he didn't have a clue, and my son who had never sat on a horses other than at Blackpool beach, had more idea.

Some of the best writers on Soccer, cricket, and many other sports have never played professionally although they know all about the games.

that's silly thing to say. Unlike so many English people I have no animosity to the Scots.
Incidentally I have already written a letter of encouragement to Laura. She rides well. Imagine her distress yesterday after being skewered on tv and then reading the 28 day ban headline this morning.

original poster would definitely NOT be so understanding if rider was English......

..... Maybe the rider is Welsh.... maybe the original poster is Welsh?

Reminds of a story about Ian Botham


When Murali got noballed for chucking in Oz, Botham's response was "what does the umpire know about the game, he's never played Test Cricket."

Botham has always been the ignorant one.

First time I heard McCoy say this was on the morning line - referring to a piece Lydia Hyslop
had written about him - "Oh yeah, and how many winners has she ridden.!"

David Pipe said once - joking about his father - "how many winners has he ridden !"
(think the answer was one or none)
Report ybor city May 3, 2010 12:34 PM BST
I was referring to A.P.
Lydia rightly and bravely did the Pipes over the dope boxes at Haydock. Her finest moment imo. Yesterday wasn't.

I faailed to understand the logic of the Guineas result being "a triumph for British stewarding "
We had already established that the result would have been reversed elsewhere. So what did she mean ?

I remember watching the ill fated space shuttle blow up over Cape Canaveral.
I am not a rocket scientist, never mind a jockey, but I knew that shuttle was fecked when it exploded.
