Tom Eaves

Amy Ryan must have told him what to do.

May as well mugged us in the street , lol robbed us of our cash !

Anyone on the planet could see what was gonna happen there....apart from him clearly....

Personally find Ellison's a mine field when it comes to betting. Horses are so in and out its unreal.

Brian is straight as for Tom????
Haven't seen the race btw.

We all know Hamilton is renowned for it but all the way up the straight it looked like Eaves had absolutely no idea what he was gonna do

Was it a trapped on the rail job?

The sun must have given the idiot sun stroke , any jock with an ounce of brain would have done better ,lol

Just watched the replay the horse was a bit outpaced for me and flattened out late.

No question at all that it was a poor and senseless ride. Maybe did flatten out late but that doesn't excuse what happened prior.

cool , all the horses fault ! ,lol , for me it was still a sh.t ride

I wouldn't back him with bad money and trust me, about 7 years ago I thought he was headed for a good job at Newmarket.

Wouldn't have had a prayer of beating the winner was never going fast enough regardless of the poor ride.

lets face it , riding of horses is very hit and miss full stop ! , the only time you can rely on a jockey 100% to get the job done is when they are pulling horses

If you really want to see make a REAL MESS of a ride watch Inflexiball at Pontefract on May 25th .....

Yes, pocket talking .....

He seems badly lacking in confidence - no surprise given only 4 wins in last 100 rides

Utter tosh

People fail to understand the simplest of things;

1 - A good horse can make any rider look good
2 - A bad horse will make any rider look bad
3 - An average horse will make most riders look bad, but a rare few riders look good on the day it actually wins.

I can tell you from many years of riding, a jockey is only as good as the horses he/she rides. Certain horses suit certain riders and certain riders are very goo at dictating paces, but unless you have the horse to deliver it's immaterial.

Much to do with results is the pace of a race and the orders you get. Horses will make you look like a fool 90% of the time.

People raved about McCoy but 95% of the time he was on the best horses, he was an excellent judge of pace though, but if you gave him the rides that many of his weighing room colleagues got, he wouldn't have got the results he did either.

I always refused to give horses an easy run, I gave every horse it's best chance, 90% of the time they weren't good enough, but that doesn't mean they were stopped. Trainers deliberately run horses over the wrong trips, when not fit and on ground they know they will hate, and give the riders orders which wont suit the horse. Punters blame the jockeys but most of the time you're looking at the wrong people to blame.

So when everyone can see 4f out that a jockey is gonna have nowhere to go and he continues to sit there until its too late is that the trainers fault?

depends on orders.
