I thought Beneficent was going to go out there yesterday as well. Seems pretty amateurish to have a "Rope" sealing off the cut away imho
She is a BRILLIANT rider. Poor girl looks gutted I thought Beneficent was going to go out there yesterday as well.Seems pretty amateurish to have a "Rope" sealing off the cut away imho
Kriskin 100% right. Dirty white tape across...you can barely see how the hell can a horse. Jockey is better than 90% of her male counterparts big shame she out rode them all there again.

Never seen it happen before , have we
She lost her balance and fell off

heart goes out to her. these aren't pros where its just another race....Foxhunters is something completely different for this lot....to have it taken away like that is very unfortunate. sometimes it not all about the money guys.

head down and using the rails as a guide line as thousands of others have done before her , just unlucky there was a slight deviation where they go out for another circuit where the tape was , very unlucky incident for one of the top irish lady riders

diabolical bad luck for her, and how many professional jockeys would have managed to stay on ? Poor lass done nothing wrong at all, not her fault, just diabolical bad luck.

morons is a bit strong, it's a forum...everyone is entitled to an opinion
StillLearning is correct; everybody is entitled to an opinion. However I actually think that in this case the term 'morons' was a bit weak. At least it seems that he was able to figure out that he was one of the intended recipients of the title.

There was a similar incident at Chelt a few years back at the very same intersection. I think it happened at the April hunters meeting where a single tape was stretched across the intersection, the rider turned left through the tape instead of going straight on towards the finish.

The horse cost me at least turning Cheltenham into a even steven, and never for a goddamn second did I blame Jane, just one of those things the horse was following the rail not the stupid rope.

Just watched a replay of the race - still think the horse spooking was as much to do with the people running towards the track as he was about to go by - as 11kv mentions above..

He was already hanging in towards the tape before he got to those people.
She had her whip in the right hand all the way up the straight. Look what happens when she gives him a crack between the last 2 fences. He drifts towards the rail. She quickly swapped to her left hand after she'd given him a crack straight after the last and he had drifted in again. It was too late unfortunately.

She gave him a smack before he jinked with her whip in her left (correct hand).
Who knows what was in the horses mind?
No matter she was not at fault.NAP

Yes but she got the whip pulled through quickly into her left hand after giving him a smack with the right hand after the last.
Where that rail ends and the tape begins he's heading towards doing another circuit. It's her attempt to correct him that causes the jink.
Absolutely right that she did nothing wrong though. She'd ridden a fantastic race which deserved to be rewarded with a win.

Watched this in my local coral, some bloke started shouting she should be banned and it was a disgrace! I asked him do u honestly think she would jump off the horse with a chance of winning a race at the festival? He promptly shut up and facked off shortly after!

Not a single Pro jockey riding could have anticipated the jink and imo not one would have stayed in the saddle.
She did everything right and would probably have won barring the horse jinking.

Poor kid I really felt for her. I've got a proposition for the idiots on here who slagged her off. Just taken on a 5 year old ex flat horse so i would like to cordially invite them to my yard and they can have a go up the gallops . What a great way for them to experience how easy it is to be a jockey don't you agree ?

Good luck in your venture,more like you and the world would be a better place.
We (my oh) have a lovely colt rising I think now 6.........
Bought him in Brazil,slashed his near fore tendons.Never raced
We eat horse regularly here and no sentiment more than one would give a cow in general terms.
However we respect the racehorse and I hope understand them,and btw the horse will never be eaten,9 dogs would enjoy a BBQ no doubt.I hope to make it home sometime soon and top of the list is seeing the horse.Closely followed by the OH and dogs.
