I've no faith in him as he makes too many mistakes, can't seem to judge the pace of a race either gives them to much to do or goes too early. I think Paul will be on the lookout for another Jockey.

He hasnt the experience for the job or to be honest the talent.Quite a long list for this job preceeds him.
And anyone who asks who? doesnt watch racing. |

As DJ has ridden RDS's namesake once or twice I suggest he knows one or two more things about the rider than some gonk like you.
|

By:
crawford, just for clarification, i have never been ridden by dj

who cares gay icon

6 replies in 9 years then he replies to GAY ICON!!!!Oh Trevor

I think he is a very good jockey to be honest.
|
|
By:
The thread is rubbish. He would not have beaten Drumbaloo no matter what. Do you have an agenda.
|
|
By:
nicholls should use felix de giles a very promising rider.
|
|
By:
I suppose someone will suggest he should have won the last also. What is more I doubt if Paul Nicholls need much advice from forumites on which jockey he should utilize. Of course everyone here is entitled to voice their opinion.

DJ is a very good jockey,Gay Icon has cited every jockey riding this season.
What does that indicate iyo?  |
|
By:
RSC possibly something to do with pockets!

Anybody posting,"Should of" instead of "should have" is immediately wrong,imo.

Nap Arkle.
I am somewhat at a loss to explain the absence of fraudboy on the OPs threads,would seem to be tailor made for his support. |

Nicholls uses too many poor jockeys , all these amateurs ?? I guess there must be a method in the great mans madness. He used to put Joe Tizzard up all the time before he became a decent jockey, then Sam Thomas too....

I find all that slightly ironic, coming from you, Fred...

I agree with you racing star . You will find a large proportion of the characters on here are semi illiterate or semi literate , depending on whether you prefer to describe your glass as half full or half empty . Incidentally , be careful with your punctuation. There should not be a comma after the word "posting " in your comment.

Does the fact that he's 2nd jockey suggest that he's riding 2nd string or 2nd meeting horses and that has something to do with it?
Anything trained by Nicholls tends to go off shorter than its real chance and the horse has run 8 times and gone off favourite for 5 of them and yet only won twice, once at 2/1 2F and 11/10F. It's been beaten at 5/2F, 2/7F, 6/4F and this time at 9/4F and beaten too at 5/2 2F.......maybe it's just not very good. Daryl Jacob has shown on horses like The listener and Reve de Sivola that he's good enough as long as the horse is too. |

By:
DJ is one of the more well rounded jocks out there. Sure he makes mistakes like they all do but riding better than Ruby right now over chases on the whole. I don't watch the hurdle races to comment.
|

By:
Daryl is one of the most improved jockeys. He improved all the time at Nick Williams and will continue to improve with Paul Nicholls. A great guy who will ride to instructions.

If Nichols had Fehily and Jacob riding all his good horses he would not miss Ruby assuming Fehily could stay healthy.

and ruby does fall off horses more than those other two

riding better than Ruby ?? a comment like that can only be taken seriously with evidence and proper research . I can neither find it nor see it . Please gents , we need more evidence when confronted by a more controversial comment . Also , the 2nd meeting horses , as mased puts it , are by definition given its a secondary meeting , often facing horses of lesser ability so I don't feel that argument holds any water . Ruby wants to ride the best horses in the stable at the best meetings for the biggest prize money . He also faces the best adversaries . It is not a measure of their chance in any particular race . What I can see is illustrated very well in Jacob's ride yesterday in the handicap . He switched the horse inside and out at least 3 times . He began his run then stopped it and waited . The horse hit at least 2 hurdles and bumped sharply into another horse causing imbalance for a few strides . I am not saying the horses very ordinary jumping was his fault necessarily . I am saying he could have contributed .

Considering the hoss you are talking about is due a fencing campaign, it jumped like a drunk yesterday..

Pablo - jockeys all make mistakes. Look at Rubys ride on Gansey saturday. One could say too wide, too far back. Never gave it a chance.
Hard to judge jockeys on a small sample size but watch all chases in detail and whilst acknowledging Ruby is a great horseman he just rides them too wide for me. Maybe his geometry is not so good or he's lost his bottle to go up the inside. Either way over fences he's riding too many bad(ish) races for a top flight jock IMO. Don't get me wrong Ruby has given the most perfect rides of all time for me His ride on Poquelin in the 09 B0ylesports was just about the most perfect ride any jockey could ever give. But given his ability for me he is taking the "safe" route too often. As for Jacob he's a great horseman too. To settle Tataniano like that in front takes good hands and he got it jumping in good rhythm. Another case where a horse improves for Jacob is Douryna. Just check out his form and more importantly how much better he jumped for Jacob than any of his other riders. The guy is good simple as. I reserve my comment for chases as don't watch hurdles. |
