I think that will happen too paddletoe. His 'people' are probably already 'spinning'.
|
|
By:
The law will stay the same but the penalties will change imo
|

By:
Has he applied for any roadsweeping positions yet?
|
|
By:
as for his attitude towards punters i clearly remember him telling hislop at an evening meeting at Salisbury that "he didnt ride for punters he rode for owners"
|

By:
Good jockey but he ain't no Johnny Murtagh... Mater's double up so bottle of bolly for her tonight!
 |

Rider......Most sports people would give the same answer.........your employer pays you and the better you are the more you earn.
|

By:
I cannot believe so many on here are quite happy to allow a bunch of white collar workers f u ck up our sport.
I should be careful in case you get what you wish for. |

racing for tip top prizemoney today and still no bans for murtagh,frankie,moorefallon,mcoy, johnson etc,hughes must be feeling abit of a fool as things stand they are meeting on monday about a bloke who at present is as much a jockey as me and you,he aint got a licience,maybe they,ll turn him down when he reapplies for bringing the game into disrepute or something
|
|
By:
ha obviously he rides for the owners, thats probably down to the fact they pay the bills and punters don't how can you criticise him for that comment. Punters criticise him for every little mistake he makes when riding so obviously he will show some contempt
|
|
By:
Always dangerous to let someone who buys his way into something make the final call if he hasn't a clue in the first place.
|
|
By:
he may currently be as much of a jockey as me or you but how many of you have actually tried race riding ? so really comments that your making on how hard it is to adjust to theses are riddiculous
|
|
By:
gant007, why is he concerned about punters all of a sudden then? [;)]
|
|
By:
mr hughes which statement do you stand by,last year,
i dont ride for punters thursday night i,m jacking it in ,because i cant do my best for punters dont bother nobodys arsed about you |
|
By:
Paul Roy and the landed gentry boys seem to know the score...........
|
|
By:
Yip,Hughes is left looking a bit of a coonnt.
|
|
By:
[smiley:crazy]they are not only telling him how many times he can hit a horse whilst trying to concentrate on numerous other things but when to do it. How can these people who have never done the job tell horsemen how to do theirs
|

By:
Smacks of indulgent self promotion.
Would be be "retiring" if he was not banned but someone else was. I would like to see him interviewed and be asked if he is going to stand by his words. Basically, be put into a corner where he cant come out of unless its with his tail between his legs. |
|
By:
Right or wrong,I admire him for taking a stance about something he feels strongly about.
|
|
By:
I do believe he also stated he couldn't do the best for the owners [smiley:crazy] so don't just edit the piece of a quote which suits your argument best
|
|
By:
The agenda men will always edit a quote..........Don't let these people destroy your sport in the UK.

wise words

Great racing today,whats the problem?
|
|
By:
If he honours his statement and does not return to racing with the existing laws still in place i would admire him.
However, as i suspect he does return with his tail between his legs his statement that he has punters interests at heart will be totally insincere. Its either hero or zero. No middle ground now that he has brought punters into his argument. |
|
By:
i think dick turpin might have a dodgy shadow somewhere
 |
|
By:
Watchit.......at least you are honest and don't like him as a person.
|

By:
in the world of r hughes doing the best for owners and punters on the same horse in his own words isnt possible, lucky he was a jockey really,
snooker couldnt pot above a brown 4pts darts couldnt do the maths unless it was double 1 or 2, grand prix to many laps athletics alrite upto 1500 metres  |

Good to see you adding your usual intelligent outpourings to the argument,Ist time poster/ACESWEST.
|
|
By:
wasn't missed at all
|
|
By:
I can see Mr Hughes being involved in British racing this time next year, but Mr Roy, I'm not so sure.
|
|
By:
1st time poster just a little premature. Some ask his missus if it's a regular occurrence

Gonna be a lot of very sad numpties about next week when they change the rules to something more sensible and RH comes back into the fold. Plus they reverse all of the existing penalties.
Oh yes. Looking forward to next week there will definitely be a lot of very sad numpties about. They know who they are. Ha ha. |
