JAMES WILLOUGHBY YOU ARE A FOOL !!!!!

is he not entitled to a view then?

Idiotic thread.

why is he a fool ?????

the rules are a joke and hughsies fellow jocks should support him

totally agree with hughes, top bloke to make a stand

holster is very obviously the fool

wasnt hughes the one interviewed saying it wouldent affect him,he hardly resorts to the whip,lol

journalists are like pigs in muck at the moment

spot on James, tell it as it is

wiloughby says he would stick up for his gravytrain friends, not if it meant you could lose your job willo, journalists in racing do not have principles where their gravy is at stake, imo, so stfu willo

holster you appear to be the only fool here or elsewhere for that matter

Rider you are totally uninformed.

OWNERS TRAINERS AND JOCKS SHOULD BOYCOTT RACES AND MAKE A STAND FOR THE GOOD OFF THE SPORT. ( should have done from day 1 )

Fook the public and they're perceptions.

Hope they dont race on champions day and send the whip rule makers back to fookin oz

explain yourself lazarus

good actor willo, if only he had this passion for punter rights

You're the fool holster.

RUK and ATR have done little but stir the pot from day one. They have to be seen to side with the jockeys - they couldn't care less if the BHA doesn't speak to them.

As for Hughes his analogy to Messi is about as stupid as it gets. He has a history of bans for various reasons - the fact that he went out with a big W on his hand was hardly encouraging was it? Now he wants everyone to feel sorry for him. Personally, I couldn't care less if we never see him again.

JW is wrong.

The report by the BHA said that there wasn't enough research to say whether the whip 'hurt' horses.  Willoughby can talk about evidence as much as he likes.  Him saying it in that earnest style he has does not make it evidence.  It's your opinion James, you should be clear in what you're saying.

Willoughby unequivocally loves the sport, rest assured he has the best interests of the sport in mind ahead of his own!

Willo wouldn't be anywhere near so forthright if he had someone on with half-a-brain to contradict him.

or if the target was a bookmaker/betfair/atr/godolphin etc rather than the bha

lucky he won't have to worry about you then

are ruk going to play this hughes interview every 10 minutes?

Probably, it shows their solidarity with the jockeys - Willo will probably creating a banner after the show.
