How strongly you fancy the horses chances?
Past and present,for obvious and not so logical reasons the following are/were jockeys whom I simply couldnt trust with the hard earned.And some whom I would/did punt on where a horses chance wasnt obvious.
Lester Piggot - In both categories
Frank Spencer - Never,even in a walkover
Pat Eddery - ditto with Frank
Richard Hughes - ditto with Lester
Wilson Renwick - ditto with Frank
Rodi Greene - ditto with Frank
A few more in both categories,interesting to see if anyone else has the same opinion/bogies?

Placepot Pat, if he knew he couldn't or didn't want to win he was unplaced. The man was without equal in that department.

Just one of those things richters,the final straw for may was at Yarmouth,I had a grand on him in a Seller at 11/10,£100 ew on a 10/1 shot and luckily a rev fcast with the 2 of them.
Thommo was creaming his pants and his exact words were "And here comes Jamie showboating down the centre of the track,its a procession"........4 or 5l clear with about 100yards to go.......eased up and caught on the line by the 10/1 shot. Financially for me no big deal but there were plenty he had cost money,never backed him since other than a couple last year when the horses chances were too good to ignore.Posting on here at evening meetings with the lads almost without exception thinking they were good things...........he got them beaten somehow,so never again. Strangely enough we did a similar thing with Fallon around the same time.........same result.........ditto never again.  |

Never,ever,ever again. The fuc ker would get Frankel beat in a Class C Handicap |
|
By:
Dickie Hills stands out for me personally - i had a lucky 15 once and had 3 decent winners up and I was sitting on £400 for a £15 stake if Dickie could get one of Hamdans up in the last at Ripon, sent off 8/11 in a 5 runner race the clown managed to get boxed in, flew in the final half furlong and lost by a nostril.......... absolute grade one idiot..... he will not be missed, others of note are
Shane Kelly - whoever said he would get beat on Frankel is spot on, incompetent or a cheat, who knows??? Dane O'Neil - about as strong and willing in a finish as a Ryvita Dougie costello - worst last jump rider I have ever seen, utterly hopeless The Dickie of the Jumps Johnson - Other than Quinz last year in the RP chase he has cost me fortunes....... and the more I think about that win I reckon the nag was probably on more dope than Keith Richards given subsequent efforts Finally special mention for Choc Thornton who is a jockey I can never catch and therefore do not back him even when i reckon one is 10lbs well in.......... a tactic that has served me very well this year!!! |

Thats a very good call, he is a total upper class cretin and deserves a place on this list. the only thing he should be riding is Lady Farquar the 3rd at the annual polo bash at the back of the Pimms Tent..... |

By:
Moloney,absolute joke he can even be called a jockey.

By:
Correct Herbie,cost a good horse everything this season with his filthy riding.
