ummmm the winners jockey had his whip out way before Tom...incompetent riding once again!!

Disagree with the ungenuine bit.  Was asked to do alot of running being held up out the back and then getting no cover the whole way up straight. Cocky ride imo

agreed

Come on guys, The Newbury straight as we know is a long tough way home for most horses..

I don't think Scudamore the jockey did a lot wrong there...

shocking ride

and I lay it

He most definately thought he had it in the bag going over the final hurdle...a little more awareness would have led him to draw for the whip and finish the race....he acted as if he was 6/7 lengths clear the tw4t

The tactics were bizarre to say the least given the horses winning form , but hardly ungenuine

I laid the second but thought it should have won

I was on this and not a huge Scudamore fan at times but he done nothing wrong there. I imagine the order was to sit back like Scu did on account of the horse pulling so hard the last time and wanted to get it settled. I thought he gave it a good ride and just got out battled. The horse went by and did not fancy the battle when the other came back at it.

He went by and took a pull instead of continuing the momentum. Scudamore has been a lucky sod to get some of the rides he's got with his ability. Him getting the Thistlecrack ride is like Queally getting the Frankel one. Two bang average jockeys who got lucky.

What was he doing on First Du Charmil  in the next ,around 8 lengths behind as they jump the 4th last and he takes a pull why !

Immaterial winner was far and away best horse in the race.

He's just an average jockey. Only got the Pipe job because of daddy.

What has the winner got to do with Scudamore taking a pull on his mount

I was thinking the same. It's like after a jockey gives a horse a terrible ride and someone says 'the winner would've won anyhow', which wasn't the point.
