Richard Kingscote

Curtis ride was atrocious

Forget Curtis take a look again Kingscote , allowing the horse to drift back as if he was going to pull the horse up and then asking it for half an effet once they were gone was shocking.

and then nervous when he was getting too close :D

And the best part is he never even tried to hide it

Iam no expert at the horses but that was so obvious

Wow

Just watched it again and it's even worse 2nd time around, there was no need to restrain the horse  after 50 yards who was settled , twice he looked over his shoulder looking for a chance to ease his mount back from it's prominent position, he then took another pull and a third when he  eased his mount looking like he wanted to pull it up, before trying to make it look good once they were gone

i need to check BHA website but i thought they had a portal for whistleblowers - well we need to get a foghorn for that one!

yes i have submitted also - wonder if they get back to you?

2. MARATHA (IRE)  (4)
Tracked leader, ridden over 1f out, no extra

Why doesn't the racing post race comments never say anything? I take it 'lost place' means jockey pulling it back, ' not pace to get back on terms' means jockey saving it for another day?

I disagree with you all. I think he just got stuck behind a horse that was stopping quickly and had nowhere to go.

People see what they want to see.

8.21 post proves that

Pray tell us how you saw the race and his ride then

Trapped behind Coillte Cailin? Maybe but once he lost 2 or lengths because of that there was no urgency to make up the ground until it was too late and then he accepted it anyway.

This is what frustrates punters - the rides the well-backed ones get compared to this kind of ride.

Anybody watching the Mount Tahan race 15th jan class 3 after the early crawl , wud have seen Maratha kick on with pretty fast mid race fractions to only get beaten by a 93 horse , the way the track was riding tonight wud have suited Maratha even better , Id love to know Richard Kingscotes instructions in the parade ring .

Raced keenly, tracked leaders, lost place when outpaced over 2f out, headway over 1f out, not pace to get back on terms, no extra final 75yds (op 3/1)

I thought it was a strange ride when I saw it live there tonight. Now I've seen the replay a few times, it looks even worse

Race 7 - 7:55pm
THE BETWAY LIVE CASINO HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

Following the race, Andrew Mullen reported that COILLTE CAILIN (IRE), placed eighth, stopped quickly as if something was amiss. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of COILLTE CAILIN (IRE) revealed the filly to be suffering from an irregular heartbeat.

Whist CC stopping quickly clearly didn't help, RK should have been aware of what was unfolding in front of him

Or maybe he was

It was a strange ride from a jock that is one of the best from the front end to let prominent position go when there was no pace on
either so can only be put down as poor at best..
