By:
the ride he gave camelot was competant,no more no less,any journey man jock cud have won on it.but the fact is,the kid is dicey,the polarised oppinions about his abilities on this forum and among the general racing public prove that.imo the kid is week in a finish,hit and miss when judging pace ,gets horses beat when they sud have won far to often.i think coolmore is taken an unnecessary risk with him due to sentement.

By:
problem is, if he rides one winning favourite in a g3 or 2 it just gives the coolmore a*se lickers even more ammunition.

i think a point people are forgetting is that joseph is picking up outside rides.....and riding some good winners on not as class of horses....like his ride on the nagle horse on the guinneas weekend....or his ride on hayley o connors mare at dundalk 2 to name but a few....so give the lad a break....

Its ok richters the Turf Club has afforded him a massive break, all his christmases came at once.

He was shíte on Betterbetterbetter two days after. Do yourself a favour, empty your Betfair account and do your gambling on scratch cards and bingo because if you thought that was a **** ride then this game's clearly not for you. He's had the horse in a good position all the way around and tracked the leader until hitting the front with a furlong to go and was then just pipped on the line a short head by a fast finisher from Johnston's yard, whose horses are renowned for running all the way to the line..........if that's the best you can do for finding a supposed **** ride of his then he must be doing OK. |

"You ride a damn good race and get beaten a short head when you thought you'd be lucky to get within three lengths of the leader and you may get booed. You make a mistake in the race, get shut in or your horse does something silly or you're unlucky, and you win by a short head when you should have won by a length and a half—and they clap. It's not your riding. It's whether they win or lose."
The above paragraph was from 5 time Kentucky Derby winning jockey Bill Hartack, sums it up perfect for me. |

its nothing personal,i think the young feller is well grounded ,decent unassuming lad,a credit to his parents.there is going to be alot of pressure on him at epsom.hope he gets a good draw so he can ride camelot handy.if comeing from behind it cud all go belly up and deja vu on the forum again,which i surpose is a bit unfair considering his age.i will be backing camerlot but at a lesser stake because of the jockey factor,.thats what it is all about me.

the kid is a joke,end of story! he wont last much longer in the flat game,coolmore will boot his ass out before long as he will keep making mistakes and keep putting up overweight,him and his dad should quit!

Lets look at some of your claims about him kingrat.
Weak in a finish? Didn't look that way in the 2000gns when winning a driving finish. Hit and miss when judging pace? Didn't look that way when led all the way in the Irish 2000 or when coming from behind on SNA in America and Camelot at Newmarket. Fair enough though you said hit and miss and I've given examples of the hits so did you have any particular examples in mind for the misses and can you give us specific examples regarding your other claim about the races where he got horses beat when he shouldn't have or is that just more generalising off the top of your head? ![]() I bet they found the joke hilarious TheTipsMaster when he won the Irish 2000, Breeders' Cup Turf, Racing Post Trophy, 2000gns and various other big race wins. ![]() |

Joseph stuck out like a sore thumb as a promising jock when he started riding,he has done little wrong.Just learning on the job.I would put him up over a lot of others.

So let me get this right, when he wins then it because he's on the best horses but when he loses it's because he's a joke? Oh and of course the best horse always wins doesn't it, you never get bad rides or hard luck stories where they don't do you?
I don't doubt for one minute that were he not the trainer's son that he would not have been given his chance at the job but if you really think hard nosed businessmen like Magnier, Smith and Tabor are going to let him ride their horses and not say anything if they didn't think J O'Brien was up to it then you really must be naive......oh and if that caused a problem for Aidan O'Brien I equally doubt they would have any problem replacing him too with another "idiot" to win untold group races all over the world for them. And which farce is that by the way, winning multiple group races? Fcuk me I already knew there were some clueless and illogical members on here but there's no need to abused those traits? ![]() |

ah maz will u ever stop been a pedantic bore,i am not getting into a pointless long drawn out debate on examples good or bad of the kids previous rides.u will only start bullshtting and splitting hairs,a complete waste of time imo.i have made my oppinion crystal clear on the matter.accept it or dont.get over yreself

i use to believe that myself,now it is impossible to do so,i cant respect these people anymore and they are embarrassing themselves and have become a laughing stock! its sad to see. The fact is,they have the power,horses and money to employ 'ANY' jockey they desire,so what do they do,employ some 6foot 17 year old kidded who cant even make weight for his rides,its distgusting! ![]() its no different than Alex Ferguson having a 20 stone 17 year old son who plays sunday league football for a pub team and bringing him in to play first team football at man united |

people say how lucky jp o brien is , but look at it another way how unlucky he is .it will always be said and he knows it ,that he only has the job cause of who he is ,which must be a pain in the ass for him even if he went undeated for a season ,the moment he lost people will always throw the fact of who his day is in his face .And lets face it ,most of the comments on here are from pocket talker ,people will always think short price favs from this yard should win (bar sna which was a fcuk up)but every day after every race people are crying about jockeys the only different is there dads not a o.brien .wonder how richard hughes got his job

Listen Joseph has been doing alot of listening back home i reckon because i think with his father saying the word 'listen' all the time and constantly reminding him to 'listen'.He might not have been listening alot so his Dad might have got into the habit of saying 'listen' alot because he wasn't listening

Funny you should mention Ferguson TheTipsMaster as he's another hard nosed type where winning is the most important thing and yet his son played 27 games for Man United in 4 years, which averages about 6 games a season before being sold on to Wolves where he played over 100 game and later to Wrexham where he played over 300. Alex Ferguson would no more have him as a passenger in his side as would Magnier have J O'Brien a passenger on his horses and this is the same Magnier that Ferguson came off worse against in the Rock of Gibraltar episode and was forced into a humiliating back down.

Buongiorno ima,just in from a most convivial wetting of the new babies head.Had to explain that in case my stalker is looking in,obsessed with closing times.

but seen plenty of videos,seem to remember him loving the hard tackle and picking up plenty of red cards |

He didnt take any prisoners even when he was a kid.My school only played rugby but I played alongside Dougie when we were 9 or 10 years old(Think it was the Boys Brigade team),remember him decking a lad and the boys eye popped out of its socket.Dougie just walked away when most of the rest were throwing up.

He used to take the pee out of my school uniform and the fact we only played rugby but he never held a grudge that he was from an impoverished area.He had it tough as a youngster but never once mentioned our differences.All he wanted to do was play football and on the pitch there was no class division.I remember him winning a medal around about the same time for his school for a County trophy they had won.
He got the hump because it was presented by John Greig (Rangers legend) and not Willie Johnstone.I had to go away to boarding school the following year and never saw him again until the late 70s when I bumped into him in a pub.Took the pee mercilessly when he found out my posh schooling had led me to join the army on a fraction of what he was earning. Top man. ![]() |

Hypothetical situ: If it became apparent that Joseph would be able to do a comfortable 8st7lb for the rest of his racing life do you think for one minute that he'd have been ushered into the Ballydoyle top job?, not a chance!, and do you think the incestuous Turf Club would have moved the goalposts so as to accommodate one individual probably the only flat jockey riding in Ireland who has a problem doing anything around 9st.
Maidens and conditions races were never a weight problem for flat jockeys, its not so long ago the Turf Club upped their minimum weight for handicaps to 8st4, you can still ride in Britain at 7st12 and nobody is banging the door down for change. Shame once again on the rish racing media for not reporting on one of the most cynical changes ever introduced to Irish flat racing, a damning indictment on the so called Irish racing regulators and the media too!. |

you cant do it without the horse,as said previously eaves,hanagan,liam jones,danny tudhope could all do as well as young o b if they were riding the same quality.

u think what u like m8,but yre mistaken me for some 1 that gives a shtt about yre views Well you give a sh1t enough to keep replying until the one time I actually ask you to do so after making a generalisation off the top of your head and you pass over the opportunity, which is quite telling really. GT-MOLE Any on the subject of Joseph N'Obrain,Anthony Culhane would have won on the vast majority of his winners and would have been more refined in burying some of his losers.hth That's far enough then and if the general consensus is that anyone could win on their horses and J O'Brien is doing so then where's the problem with him? Dr Gonzo Condescending as well as tedious. You ever thought about applying for a job writing for the Racing Post? You should be thanking me as some people need saving from themselves and if you think that was a sh1te ride on Betterbetterbetter than I'm afraid you are one of them. Although how about telling us specifically what was so bad about the ride or are you another like kingrat who just spouts off and then can't back anything up when your views are challenged? Even if you said it was because of x, y and z I might still disagree but at least I would respect the fact that you gave your reasons rather than it just be a tired and lazy criticism purely for the sake of it.......but then again there was nothing at all wrong with the ride so I appreciate it can be had to detail something that isn't there. |
