Havlin..worse ride of month..235 Ponty

did everything wrong in a 1 mile 2f maiden

for an experienced jockey that was a disgrace

Yes, should have jumped the one in front of him.

dreadful but I think the current jocks are a poor bunch in comparison to what went before.

Nonay spot on!

Shocker of a ride....poor jockey

Havlin is bad compared with any era

Average at best jockey

On a par with Willie TD yesterday. Not sure Havlins horse would have won anyway, but still a daft ride. Jockeys on short priced favs seem to think they will get an easy passage but the other jockeys are ganging up on them as they have every right to do.

By far the best horse on the day finished 2nd thanks to a poor ride from R Havlin a name that keeps poppin up in" bad rides" threads.

Hostage to fortune from the off. Obviously didn't want to lead/maybe orders, horse was keen, another jock legitimately kept him boxed. What was he supposed to do?

if they could start that race again but you get Buick instead of Havlin then what price the fav?

that was just too bad for words
should have won doing handsprings
outsider winning says it all........
worst ride i have seen for a long while.....

Dictate the pace ridden from the front last time,no?

we cant keep making excuses for jockeys
atr,ruk just paper over the cracks.....

'Till later today no doubt (needs to be) rewired.

It was a dreeadful ride, but the winner is a better horse and will only get more superior to the runner up.

**** happens.

The only way other than leading on a very keen horse was to walk out of the stalls and go right around the field. But as I say the horse was too keen to make any other manoeuvre than the one he took from the stalls impossible.

the claimer on Frontier shows you how to do it.

best horse in the race makes all.

seriously. Can't make excuses for Havlin.

Havlin wanted to be where Murphy was but Murphy had already taken that ground.

It was more an unfortunate ride than a bad one. Happens every day and has always happened.

It was indeed unfortunate, but he allowed himself to remain in a bad position for far too long. Good tactical ride by Murphy.

stepping up in trip, as second jockey he would have been under orders to hold it up and get it to settle - the problem nowadays is there is seldom a decent pace and easy to get stuck in traffic. Even with a reasonable pace the pacemaker would have fallen away earlier and given the fav space to come through. having said all that I think the best horse won comfortably.

Put yourself in a car on the inside lane of a motorway behind a lorry, with another lorry slowly overtaking the both of you. No chance of getting out until the overtaking lorry is past you.

wouldn't have won anyway - best horse in the race still won  ...

Give it a rest will you please.

Poor analogy. Cars and lorries? Huge difference in size exacerbates the perceived difficulty of the task. He could force his way through - as many jockeys do. It's not as if the stewards would do anything.

i agree torabora, he should have said " if you were behind a caravan , with a bus overtaking you "

And you were on a tricycle....

OT

A head carriage like that would usually be very off putting

You can't say the horse isn't trying though in it's runs so far.

torabora

HE IS A USL£SS ****

Havlin ride much worse when you look at it again .....shocker !!!!

don't remind me

brain dead jockey
