Are there any flat jockeys left who ride out properly for a place?

Dettori started it then Hughes now they all do it, the stewards have made a rod for their own back by being too scared to pull the big named jockey in, now they all do it, because they can always say well you never pulled up Dettori which is very true. They need to ban a couple of them instead of throwing the book at a few of the young kids and ignoring the rest.
I spoke to a chap from the BHA and he said it's down to the local stewards but they wont do it because the well known jockey put bums on seats and they are afraid they will get boycotted.

Pat Eddery was the daddy at getting out of the frame if the win wasn't there. "Placepot Pat" as he was known back then.

If you can't win don't get placed. Handicap mark will not be altered if you're not places and you can have a nice win bet then lay the place. I't not rocket science Wink
