can't stand rides like that trying to win cheekily. just get the job done
No need for it al all, has loads of horse so should have just brought him outside.
Acted the smartarse and got what he deserved.

I hope Roger didn't back it - he's gonna be incandescent with rage!
Only lost a fiver on that but all the same, no need for trying to be clever
disgusting no stewards, surely have to satisfy customers, irrelevant of result there was interference, even if they make lee in the wrong.
Customers need an explanation.

agree dreadful ride, the only enquiry needed should be into how lengthy his ban is
Will that be G Lees' 1st and last ride for Ellison?
they don't need an enquiry into the result like weaver says pires, it's not the other jockeys problem if lee tries going for a gap that doesn't exist
8.10, sixth race
The Stewards noted that the winner, JEZZA, had interfered with BROUGHTONS BANDIT, placed fourth, in the final furlong, but after viewing a recording of the incident they were satisfied that it neither involved a riding offence nor improved JEZZA’s placing.

Even more unbelievable is the racing post analysis!
"Capellanus wasn´t suited by dropping in trip when finishing in rear in a 1m4f handicap here 28 days previously having won a ´Jumpers Bumpers´ here on his penultimate start. Returned to the C&D of that success he travelled strongly and was seen cantering 1f out. His rider waited to the last minute to get after him but despite running into traffic his finishing effort was disappointing."

who the heck are these people?..........if he went to the outside, he would have won by 3 lengths
I went out earlier so didn't see any races but just watched the replay,
comments after the race are with HINDSIGHT but as the race was panning out, Lee was there with a gap and at a crucial moment, both horses in front of him veered and closed the gap, how this can be deemed as his fault is beyond me,
yes he could've gone to the outside but that is with HINDSIGHT !

There was never a gap timeless, head on showed that.
Why gamble anyway? Just coast to the outside and win on the bridle.
dan
as someone connected with the stable, do you know if are they unhappy with the ride ?!

Brian moans about the jockeys when they've given them perfectly good rides, he'll have been seething!
These things happen tbf, but i'm amazed anyone can think that horse wasnt very unlucky not to win tonight.
he was unlucky alright but I can/can't see it as the jockey's fault,
afterall he only has split seconds to make decisions but we discuss it afterwards with hindsight !

Game of opinions timeless...class jockey but if he could ride that race again another 100 times he'd win every time IMO.
"he was unlucky alright but I can/can't see it as the jockey's fault"
are you a racing jurno? ur being very nice to graham.

not much more harold, i could've done with a winner though!

the point is, I am commenting NOT having backed the horse and as such, can be impartial,
but I can also see how I'd be gutted if I'd backed it and see it lose the way it did !

I get the feeling he's going to get a lot of stick on here compared to his winning rides,last seasson his rides were underbet considering it became more obvious he was improving.Lets hope the same happens this season coming!
Plenty of winning rides no comment but you can be assured as night turns into day one bad one will attract plenty.
If that had been Kelly or Ahern, the forum would have gone into meltdown.
It wasn't a split-second decision, he had ample opportunity from before turning into the straight to ease to the outer, and only did so when it was all too late. He lost a race he should have won, imo.
Since changing codes, Lee had an incredible amount of praise heaped upon him by the gravy-train merchants, every time he rides a winner, we're told how magnificent he is. There must be jockeys in the weighing room wondering 'wtf'?
Well tonight he got one badly wrong, and not for the first time according to some. Lee shouldn't be exempt from criticism, and that was one ride he deserved to be criticised for, imo.

spot on george.........the gravy merchants are spineless..........luke harvey first said there was no gap and then when the issue of lees mistake was brought up he said the jockey made a split second decision to go for a gap............but it wasnt there luke was it so what are u talking about.........there was a massive gap to his right
Yep bad judgement,but i think you'll find that his bad rides will always be like this as he gets horses so relaxed and thats why he gets so many dodgepots back to winning.He almost rides as though overcomposed and if you notice his rides rarely have hard races,he has a quality that most don't almost educating horses in winning thats whats so impressive as you know they will win again.He reminds me of fallon with his temperament obviously not quite as good as the master!!

I agree with you george, and I backed the horse big time.
Graham Lee is a very good jockey but in this race he completely fecked it up. If he had only switched it outside Jezza he would have won two lengths comfortably.
He deliberately took a pull and went inside, expecting a gap to appear that never did, but maybe he should have expected Luke Morris´s mount to go left considering Morris had his whip in his right hand and prefers to whip them on his right.
But it was NO split second decision...
