Just cost me a packet

he does it every time, always tries to win by the minmum, it was only a matter of time before he got caught out

t0sser

too busy watching big screen lol

that should be a 14 day ban for stopping riding

absolutely fkn scandalous....

What's the name of commentator in Ireland g2d working @ Down Royal today please.

I should know but I don't, figured you probably would!

puts the race to bed with a good ride then lets his horse jump the last and coast before realising hes got company but its too late too many mistakes for a jockey of his calibre lately

if every jock just rode out 100 percent we would save all this ****

richard pugh on comms

Total disgrace, was just about to turn my luck today, and then that.

it's a tough day and i didn't need that

Sorry Andy, was feeding the hound.

Misslimerick is correct. Richard Pugh.

terrible ride but the horse's form line tells you he's a non-trier

jockey error the horse would have won easy if he was rode out to the line, trying to be too clever to protect the handicap mark

Thanks miss limerick - wanted to put a name to the voice so to speak!

Don't get to hear him all that often but he's the best from the UK & Irish mob, always v.very impressed every time I hear him.

Backed 3rd fav in the race which fell,but thats shocking to say the least,ul to all who backed it.

Cheers g2d...hope the hound is well fed. Cheltenham was quality the other day btw - bit up and down on the punting side of things but that's Prestbury for you - the Festival should be a treat once again this year.

what do you think the racing post description will say? how much are we bet there's no mention of "failed to ride out"?

The ugly bugger is better fed than me.

Always is Andy, still get goose pimples every time i set foot in the place, if i see you in March, a pint of the nearly black stuff will find it's way to you..

hes ok sort of labelled as ptp comm over here

Cheers g2d...hope to pass on a few winners @ the time if you do.  Long Run wins bar a fall in the GC - I know the jokey on board is a liability but he's overpriced right now in a big way in my view.

MissLim - That's surprising, I think he's way better than a ptp comm, not heard him on the flat though? but his NH calling is superb - if I was on Facebook I'd start a fan club

think a 5 furlong sprint wud be over before he had the field mentioned may need a few keep e uppy pills for that lark!

maybe davy make amends here?????

my god!! russell stops riding for a moment going into the last to get his horse right to jump it and anyone would think hed stopped riding miles ouit and hadnt seen the winner coming , walofs.just unlucky it  didnt find much on the run in. i think h did very little wrong  to be honest.

Anyone ever been to Down Royal?If you had you wouldn't be as quick to slate the jockey on a horse with a questionable attitude getting caught on the run in!It is one tough finish!

Soooooo errrrrr him taking it up and easing up on the run in on course with a tough finish is OK then???? Why did he get after him so far out, if he rides the course regularly I would be asking myself???

I'd safely say he got after him so far out so as to open a big lead as he knew if it came down to a battle up that steep hill his boy wouldn't have the bottle for it!I backed the horse and was coursing Russell at the time butnow that i've settled the head i think he didn't do too much wrong!

Never change your mind!!! It was a dreadful ride... imho...

done nowt wrong imo.

Looking at things from an objective viewpoint will help one make better decidions in future!
