OMFG worst ever

yep

I think your right that is the worst ever!!!!

Not prone to exaggeration then

Got to be

'jockey makes mistake' shocker

What hapened? I turned it off too soon

horrific stuff

Triangular £197 taken at 1000,  lookslikerainted  £33,000 +  at 1.01   oh my

Seemed to mistake the half-furlong pole for the lollipop

The comedy there is that he didn't even react when the two horses went past him after he eased down!

There only amateurs

It was a distance clear, I've seen easing up many times before but that was for me the worst I've seen.

33k at 1.01 wooow

can't imagine what its like to have backed that, you must be on massive tilt by now

Corresponding race 5 years ago where "winning" jockey missed out last fence.

hopeless....just hopeless

full on tilt

laying winner will be far more painfull

ged what was the horse ?

Lookslikeaheavyfineted

Seen it all now.

Christ some of the 00.1 punters must have suffered there!
Amateurs!!

I'd consider supporting Liverpool now if i'd done me nuts on that..

I think I would rather lay a 3-1 winner then miss out on a 50-1 plus chance myself, Geoff. Either way it would be horrendous.

Now you know how Roger Loughran must of felt.

Good memory Ged....is that five years ago

Biscar - Merry Vic was the horse. He 'won' by 8 lengths.

In all my years of watching racing ( 40 + ) I really do think that was the worst - htf can you not know where the post is at Newbury?

As bad as Roger Loughran, but at least he didn't stand up in the stirrups waving his whip to the crowd.

You have to be a total mug to bet your hard earned in Hunter Chases.

I assume some jockey forgot something?

gonna need g4s

Does the jockey get a HOLIDAY?

central house

At least the ban wont affect him.

Thanks for the Youtube link.
Is moron a politically correct term these days?
Mickael Barzalona on Pour Moi in the  Derby action replay.

What a joyous occasion.The same ****s are hoovering up money and horses on the deck.Goes around comes around.Pity not more often.

got a 28 day ban.

£159 green against its name....didnt feel the need to lay off

28 day ban
I bet hes gutted missing out on all those oppourtunities

Hmmm, not to sure about this. The 2nd place hoss was close enough at the last and he never checked once where it was..

Has horse whipping been abolished?

No sympathy with the 1.01 thieves. Feel for any poor sod who backed it pre race at a massive price though.

scumbag won't even go on TV and apologise WAC

must be renamed lookslikeivedunmebolluxted !shirley

Mickael Barzalona on Pour Moi in the  Derby action replay.


At least he won the race.

makes me feel sick, would have turned my day round

He should get another lengthy ban for acting like a d*** standing up in the saddle and waving to the crowd.

someone pop over to the box at newcy and see if huntys o.k ,take some jump leads he may need reviving !

BB if they didn't lay off

Genuine mistake feel absolutely gutted for the lad. I do wonder how he feels inside know of us will know!

Lads any chance of someone posting a full replay with the after commentary of RUK?  I tried the jockey club website but couldn't find a replay

Reminds me of Peter Carberry - MONTY'S MOON a few years back. Had the b*****ks on it this day. They should never be allowed to ride again IMO...

Thank You EL11 Legend

Willie Shafter.
you watching correct race?

No.  I was watching the race posted at 17:02 in the thread and didn't realise that was an old race.  Sorry.

Just watched it now on the link posted at 17:26 above.
Did the jockey fall into a coma.  He was almost feeding the nag Polo mints.

mistook 1/2f pole

I wish the after race analysis didn't cut off didn't see it live.  If anyone could post a link to the full version afterwards i would give you a polo mint and a apple

I like the advertisement hoardings "Be Wiser"

WOW

must just about the most famous winning post in racing..after the water jump on the inner

never seen anything like that before

james ridley‏ @JMR_jamesridley
Completely gutted for misjudging the winning post today ! Sorry for everyone involved  #nobodymoreangrythanmyself

hash tag nobody more angry than myself

I bet there is...

999/1 layers of winner and 1.01 backers of his ,may disagree with him

Best horse lost imo

People pay good money to go racing. Why should they have to watch Amateurs? They should stick to point to point.

the head on looks a lot worse

never realised it was 33/1

its absolutely ridic in this day and age that the 1/2f pole it identical to the pole on finishing line...its asking for trouble and this has caused this to happen many times...why not make the one on line yellow and rest white....cost peanuts to eradicate this from reoccurring.

Got your decimal point in the wrong place there !!

" AMATEURS "          

1/2 pole to the riders -right ?

Any self respecting punter would know (the slight) intricacies of the Newbury NH finish.
Nevertheless I feel sorry for the bloke.

is the punter doing the riding?

Stewarty B - you point out that Michael Barzalona won the Derby on Pour Moi despite standing up in the stirrups before reaching the winning line. I believe the rules are that jockeys should not drop their hands, if involved in a first 4 finish, until they have crossed the line.
If a jockey stops riding and gets caught by a short head, his actions are no different to holding on by a short head and as such, should be punishable the same.

looking at racing today

mistook 1/2 furlong pole for winning line

.... hitler invades europe.....

yes ITV4 is like the history channel

It's still incredulous how the 1/2 furlong marker can possibly be mistaken for the wining line, by anyone. There's still a straight in front of you, no gaps in the rail, no cut strip, half the grandstand to go, no photo paraphernalia, no winning post.

i agree..but putting something identical to the winning post 100yds before it is asking for trouble...imo

It's only potentially of any use for the jockeys, I guess they should decide if it's any use to to them or not. But to be fair, the winning post has a great big red circle on it!

can you see the red bit 100yds away side on?

They're not side on to the jockey!

Didley was laughing and joking a long time after the race as if he'd won and no one was telling him

thats my point cider

If the jockey can't tell any other difference, or know where he is, the fallback is to keep pushing until he gets to the pole with the big red bit on it. I've seen plenty of examples where they've mistaken the line, but it can be seen why it possibly happened and one can empathise to some extent. On this example, there's no plausible excuse imo.

Just saw this...

You really think those are the rules do you? Then why are there not bans every other day as I see it happening with my own eyes?

As for Michael Barzalona I thought he gave the horse a superb ride considering it was his first ever Derby. Yes he got a bit excited but the horse did win by a head and he never mistook the winning post..
