I didn't even back in that race, and people who laid Alpine shoule realise that laying the outsider in a 3 runner race is dodgy. but it don't look great when he takes a tumble does it? people will question it, but watching it live it looked a little fishy, re-watching it looks less dodgy but still a little doubt lingers.

How many jockeys fall off in a flat race during a week of racing, never mind a tuesday night 3 horse handicap up north somewhere ?
Very suspicious.
Horse didn't even jink or was bumped.

Stick to pulling flags from your beaver,Vicky as horse racing is clearly not your specialityLaugh
Report rmccarthy16 July 22, 2014 9:57 PM BST
oh my, if you think he did that on purpose you need your head looked at. racing is bent- yes but not jump of your horse bent.

Ask yourself this, what would a top jockey like GG who gets a full book of rides everyday, rides for top trainers,plenty of winners, why would he want to jump off?

and again, why would william Haggas, (multiple group 1 winning trainer, tons of horses in training, constantly firing in winners) want Gibons to fall off? do you think he laid him on betfair?

and finally why would Mr Jaber Abdullah want Gibbons to take a dive? a multi-billion oil entrepreneur, who is coincidentally friends with the UAE royal family, again i doubt he is laying it for a few quid on betfair is he?

never mind the fact the horse is going at exceptional speed and would be like asking you to drive 30 mph down the road and dive out the door, would you do that then? i doubt it, same principle. Absolutely ridiculous, and i backed it!

so three possible jockeys out of how many races per day, per year? think about it 0.1 percent, you're going to get a very very small number, but if a jockey falls off its down to loosing his balance or the horse junking or something else but nothing untoward
Report stickyvicky July 22, 2014 10:35 PM BST
Betting Syndicates Mac16 is your answer, owners, trainers wouldn't even be in the know. Also jockeys train to fall properly as apprentices. Everyone considered K.Fallon was top jockey and he was still tapped up years ago. Just saying.Plain
ps. Even the Queens horses have been doped, like she needs the money too.

ANALYSIS

A fair small-field 3yo handicap concluded the card, but it was an eventful race which produced an understandably modest comparative winning time.

ALPINE STORM took a strong hold on the lead in the formative stages of the contest, so much so that it appeared to unsettle Lilly Junior in second, who took a false step after 2f and unseated her rider Graham Gibbons. The loose horse lit up Alpine Storm even more for a brief period, but she settled down with about 3f remaining, and saw out the remainder of the journey in decent fashion for a ready win.

Incurs Four Faults has been in fine front-running form but made a slow awkward start on this occasion. It seemed likely that this race may still fall into his lap, once the two remaining runners settled down to fight it out with 3f remaining, but he finished a laboured second.

betting syndicates? again you are saying that gibbons jumped off? assuming he did this on purpose. It's ridiculous. Yes they train to fall properly but that doesn't mean they wont be unscathed travelling at 35 mph, its a MASSIVE risk and for what? especially when hes making a very good living as it is. 

Again ill teach you to put your hands on over your head and jump out the car door, would you do it at 35mph
