Haven't had a bet on the flat for a couple of months, I'd rather give the money to a Roma Gypsy. Watched a few races and it's there for all to see how bad the standard of jockeyship is in the UK on the flat. Bar a couple of promising apprentices the collection of jockeys at todays flat meetings have to be the worst in the history of the sport.

They all go to this jockey school and learn how to do basic riding.

It may be 13 years old, but I wouldn't be too hard on anyone who was fooled. You could probably run that headline virtually every day since that post.

Heard it day in day out in 80's /90's managing shops as a relief manager.
Clowns kicking chairs over, throwing pens at the screens hurling abuse at shop staff.
Best punters were those who were betting in hundreds watching the race and keeping expressionless whether they won or lost and despite 'poor' jockeyship.

Got to say, I ahae blaming jocks for a poor run BUT the pace judegment of the current crop of middle- to lower-ramk riders seems poor.

Either way too fast in front, or letting horses get away at the head of the race.

Steve Cauthen would ride most of the to sleep from the front - and bag 400 winners in a calendar year.

A  person on X highlighted Murphy’s ride on the Meehan horse at Sandown yesterday ,never played in the race but having watched the replay it looked 7lb claiming material…..sad really tbh.
