egan

Bit obvious though

dear me , no bet for me there but that was rank

lol

Job done.

Job done! Hope stewards do their job.

lays on here will be closely examined

Thought it was The Epsom Dash

if he doesn't get pulled in for that,may as well just not have stewards

SCANDOLOUS

Stewards please do something

not subtle, was it?

that was 10 times worse than a handbrake job.

As b3nt as it gets.  How this jockey has got away with it for so long is an absolute scandal!

howard, so will Egans bank acc

Mr Fractions....

you would think an experienced jock could make it look a little less obvious

Try not to post about rides but that was as bad as I've ever seen. My guess is not one person on this forum will defend that ride

that was so blatant

absolute piss take

They gave Ahern a 10 year ban for a ride like that

House "more than one way" you took the words out of my mouth. Surely the horse had no chance being ridden like that. Jockey should be in and get about a month.

horse had it all to do to finish the race.

Maybe he though it was a 5f race

hasn't he got form as well.?..shame really, cos i think he's a good jockey

its not as if he couldn't hold it...he was pushing it ffs

he rode purposely like that on his own judgement , or connections told him to ride it like that

In his defence, the close-up comment for the horse's win lto was: "Set strong pace, ridden along 3f out...

He normally comes out slow and gets stuck at the back of a slow pace. It should be a month in jail.

just blatant fraud shocking

Ridden along 11f out today george!

you would think a punter at the track would ask  EGAN WTF he was at?

that was ridden like that at winning post first time, he could of give it a little breather once he had the horse 2 lengths clear, oh well nothing will be done.

WILL ATR SAY ANYTHING ????

first time on the horse its a learning curve

Worse ride I've seen all season, and probably any season.

At first I thought he must have mistaken the distance and thought he was in a sprint, but the 5F sprint is a straight shoot at Southwell and the 6F start is at the other side of the track to the 1m4f start.  God knows what he was thinking there, ridiculous ride.

I would imagine Egan has done plenty of learning in his time.

lol close up comment this time -   "set blistering pace, well clear, all out and and ridden hard 11f out...."

Sarah I would imagine plenty, not just God, knew exactly what he was doing.

aye arkle tongue is firmly in my cheek

didnt take any notice of pre race markets, wasnt going to do anything but drift after the off. surely they can look at the betting patterns on here for any big lays. i suppose the ride might turn up in some report in a few years time lol

one of the worst rides ever

its the best ride ive ever seen cant stop laughing

Quite awful and it beggars belief that he would expect punters to trust him after that kind of ride! 
No doubt the "backside" licking sycophants in the media will thrust a microphone in his face in a matter or weeks or praise him to the rafters for an "amazing" ride on something (that most likely had 2 stone in hand) in a few weeks!

Shocking

Race 2 - 2:05pm THE LADBROKES HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)
John Egan, the rider of EXCELLING OSCAR (IRE), reported that the gelding had no more to give.

Any mention on ATR about the ride?

2.05

Race 3 - 2:40pm THE coral.co.uk HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)
The Stewards held an enquiry into the running and riding of YUL FINEGOLD (IRE) ridden by John Egan and trained by Connor Dore which was aggressively ridden from the stalls to lead at a strong gallop throughout before weakening rapidly from approaching the 4 furlong marker to finish ninth of ten, beaten 31 3/4 lengths. They interviewed the rider and the trainer. They also received a report from the Veterinary Officer who confirmed a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. The rider stated his instructions were to obtain a clear lead from the start, dictate the pace of the race and steady the gallop down the back straight before attempting to quicken approaching the home turn. He added that having turned into the back straight he was finding it difficult to keep YUL FINEGOLD (IRE) balanced in the strong cross-winds, which meant he was unable to give the gelding a breather as intended because he was constantly being blown away from the inside rail. He further stated that mid-race he was unsure whether YUL FINEGOLD (IRE) made a noise and also he was experiencing difficulty steering the gelding as the bit had slipped through its mouth. The trainer confirmed the instructions adding that today’s tactics were designed to take fancied runners out of their comfort zone and had been successfully employed in YUL FINEGOLD (IRE)’s previous races but acknowledged that from the 1 mile marker conditions weren’t ideal for the rider to fully implement the desired tactics on this occasion. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they noted their explanations.

Sounds like those excuses where already made up about 11.30 this morning or possibly over a pint last night.

Apologies, never noticed previous post.

Strong words posy. A fair chance he was trying his best though and you're completely wrong!

he was finding it difficult to keep YUL FINEGOLD (IRE) balanced in the strong cross-winds, which meant he was unable to give the gelding a breather as intended because he was constantly being blown away from the inside rail

I just watched the race again .

the horse did come off the rail a couple of times, but what I don't understand from his comments above is how you are going to give a horse a breather if you are constantly encouraging it to run fast as egan is never not pushing along

Nobody can win betting horses unless they have serious contacts.
