why?hes right.you dont get a chance to win the gc too often

Contrast his desperation with the professionalism of Bryan Cooper. Like the leader of a pride of lions who is trying to cling on.
Can't wait for Bryan to oust him in the coming years. |

By:
What ridiculousness we see daily on here, Champion Jockey takes ride on fancied Gold Cup horse, who wouldn't?
|
|
By:
Desperate.
|
|
By:
66/1 rag vs a 7/2 second fav, and clearly Willie and O'Leary wanted AP.
Can't blame him for taking the ride. |
|
By:
Or just driven to succeed? Maybe a few of the whingers on here could take a lesson from McCoy on putting some actual effort into his life?
|
|
By:
Nobody would blame him for taking the ride but its the circumstances that surrounds it that leaves a rather pungent smell.
|
|
By:
Dan Sunnyhillboy was as short as 16/1 with Billies.
|
|
By:
Is he really that loyal to Jonjo / JP?? Loyal to himself. Sad. Always poor McCoy...listen to him...always down on himself.
|
|
By:
Joey K, without doubt he has, they (Jonjo and JP) will have taken this decision not him, magnificent gesture to give him a chance of winning the Gold Cup.
McCoy can't win can he, if he was brash and bold you would say he was big-headed. If you don't appreciate his talent then I doubt you get much satisfaction from this sport at all. |
|
By:
I suppose Piggott was desperate as well when he stole other jockeys rides?.
|
|
By:
Talent - sure do.
Satisfaction - no issue of yours. Entitled to my opinion as are you. Many will be unhappy at the circumstances of this. Gesture - what gesture... The horse scoped badly! Low enough to do that in the biggest race sums it up. |
|
By:
LOL. Lester comparison is good for me. Lol
|
|
By:
Surprised no-one has considered the punters here. May not be many of them but its a disgrace for anyone who backed Sunnyhillboy ante post
|
|
By:
cooper must have known he wasnt getting the ride, else he would have have got the call after the last race yesterday....
|
|
By:
Agree joey if Davy was available Sunnyhillboy would still be in the race and thats a fact.
|
|
By:
What's the official reason for Sunnyhillboy not running?
|
|
By:
Dirty scope
|
|
By:
They've done ante post punters a favour as Sunnhhillbiy backers will get money back as it was declared
|
|
By:
Sunnyhill Boy had no chance. Of course Mccoy should switch. Crazy that anyone would think otherwise. A good gesture from Jonjo and JP to go along with it but for Sunnyhill it would have just been a warm up for the national.
|
|
By:
Why is Lester not a good comparison?.
McCoy is the greatest national hunt jockey ever in terms of winners. I am not actually his biggest fan, but anyone would have done the same thing in his position. phuck, i would rather have Timmy Murphy on board Sir De Champes ![]() |
|
By:
Personally i think this is fantastic news for Bobs Worth backers like myself
![]() |
|
By:
I didn't know that was the case Baracouda. Still don't agree with it though and I'm a huge McCoy fan
|
|
By:
Lack of morals. Not the 'right' thing. Similar to some Lester events.
|
|
By:
So,Joey, having been asked to ride the horse should Mc Coy have said 'no thanks'?
Why would any jockey refuse the ride? |
|
By:
But I did actually like Lester lol
|
|
By:
I didn't know that was the case Baracouda. Still don't agree with it though and I'm a huge McCoy fan THAT IS NOT THE CASE ANTE POST IS ALL IN RUN OR NOT ENTERED OR NOT DOSENT MATTER IT WAS DECLARED ITS A N/R BUT THINK A LOT OF FREE ADVERTISING WILL BE USED HERE WITH GOODWILL FROM BOOKIES
|
|
By:
Horse must be odds on to fall with McCoy on his back - Bobs Worth is now a triple maximum.
|
|
By:
I don't agree with it either Nutkins but you can see why McCoy's not going to turn it down. I just think it leaves a bad taste in the mouth for racing's image
|
|
By:
no way he is doing this without JPM's say so
|
|
By:
Apologies, my bad regarding ante post. I thought if they were declared overnight and then pulled would be deemed a non runner and bets refunded. #idiot
|
|
By:
18 times champion takes ride on 2nd fav?..wow sensational news?!!?
|
|
By:
That's the lay of the week gone
![]() |
|
By:
dirty scope ffs how they pull that off
|
|
By:
will be quite funny if mccoy hasn't got the ride
|
|
By:
18 times champion only has ride on 2nd fav because a perfectly healthy horse was pulled out of the race.
|
|
By:
Someone has already laid Sir Des.
|
|
By:
with mccoy up there will be forum meltdown this afternoon whether he decks it, gets beat or wins
|
|
By:
This place gets worse everyday. Joey you are a gormless moron
