women frequently out riding the men

oldest job in the world

Said horse must have had 10lbs in hand, poorly placed and ridden to win, granted in the Finnish you wouldnt have known which was the ex champion jockey.

Did she outride them or did race fitness play a part against two horses coming off breaks?

Other 2 got racing early in the straight

The horses they are riding aren't identical end of discussion

those little men arnt much stronger and a bit heavier

Was the thread supposed to be "women frequently out riding the horses"?

This strength in the saddle myth seems to be dying a death.

Indeed it is hopefully the clueless keep the myth alive still the odd bit of value to be had at the moment.

Yes it's been a fair earner, denzil.

I think women are equal to men in terms of riding

BUT

the crop we have at the moment are simply not as good.

I dislike Gordan and Curry and Bridgewater, again i stress not because they are women, I find them weak.

To give an exception she hasnt been good recently but i like Blackmore.

Said horse must have had 10lbs in hand, poorly placed and ridden to win.

Yes, it hung left in the straight behind two others then she had to go around them.

Then it was hanging into the all the way to the line.

The horse quickened when she asked it to that's the point.

If a horse does that for the jockey there isn't a lot to complain about.

I bet the mouse is still trying to pluck up enough courage to pay for a jump.

Mouse M - vfunny.

Nicola Currie is going to be outriding men and women for many years to come

Good to see you omitted the space between out and riding, HV.

i think i probably and striclty speaking should have been hyphenated, but i very much take your point

she'll certainly be riding ours if he proves good enough come the summer

Come on it's not about strength it's about balance innit….Bestest Horse Wins (Nap)

it sure is about balance and the "sit" and the tighter the track then about gate speed and tactical nous

Exactly right H.V

another won ...

Certainly out rode them there.

and out here AC/DC the best ride, on these much tighter tracks, prevails as much if not more than the best horse

i think it explains why so many seemingly good to very good UK-based jocks come to HK and fail to make an impact

katie price does it regularly.

Doubt you'd hear the men complaining though tbf.

Madam Olga of Kings Cross London used to tell me how popular this was, but she had to charge extra for a whip & jodhpurs.
