Meet the Legend

Looked v bad.  Skelton seemed to get a right kicking too.

Didn't look good.

How many horses does this Skelton boy fall off??

awful...ran a gallant race too...winner was well beaten.

You dont see problems like that happening on the flat, lower your stakes by 80% , when a horses feet leave the ground anything can happen

Certainly ran a gallant race. Not sure it would have held on though.

Winner had him covered. He fell because he was legless.

You mean like horses getting left in the stalls or boxed in in a 3 horse race?

MJK, you keep backing at the same stakes over jumps as flat you will get burnt

I don't bet half as much on the flat, cheating is far worse from the toff trainers

Had 4 times my regular stake on that

makes no sense really as some ones bad luck is another persons good luck.jumpings all part of the game

sure what do I know. If my horse is 4L clear and race in the bag the chances of the rider falling off are low.

for several people i know, it's totally the other way round...make bundles on the jumps, the Flat not so much...we're not machines

Fatal injury sadly.

Ask Hugh Taylor, Giggilo, Kevin Blake, Ged Egan which discipline can be trusted more, yes the flat can be boring but when it comes to studying and investing your own money the flat can be trusted a lot more.

Just ask gary carter
