there has to be something gone from palmer nothing for suroor for a long time
Hunger for success makes em do their job well...............................then they relax.
Strange situation . You would think that anyone who rides 100 winners in a season has established their credentials and if they have a competent agent they should continue to get plenty of rides and winners. I can only guess that JG must have wrong-footed herself through something she said or did. Would be a shame if her career stalled just as it was getting going.
Goes back to her going on holiday last year. She really shot herself in the foot .
been diabolical this year. 4% win rate compared with 10, 11, 9 the previous years
i reckon she can't be assed. you listen to her talk she doesn't seem to give one. she's going through the motions. no zest

you're talking like it hasn't already stalled
3-72 (4%) so far this year continues the downward spiral that begun last year

Odds On to up sticks and move abroad....No other option.
josie will have to think about america imagine she would do well there cant see her lasting the season here with a few no hoper mounts every week
ticked a few gender boxes riding million pound blubloods against the pig farmers at thirsk,recar,you,d need top be blind bwith no arms not to knock a few winners
She’s not on the decline....was just not very good and overrated in the first place...
do any of the looney pundits still think she might be champion jockey one day or as that ship sailed
Must have broke a few hearts here after riding 100+ winners despite every single one being a steering job.

Give the girl some credit.
She soldiered on, and slugged it out for a few seasons - Before she got her break.

From July 2016.
If tenacity, determination and a refusal to accept that the odds are stacked against you are essential equipment for an apprentice jockey, then Josephine Gordon is fully equipped for the job.
The 23-year-old from Devon has been the riding find of the year. Having been leading apprentice for the winter All-Weather season, she is now giving hot favourite and reigning champion Tom Marquand a run for his money in the championship race for up-and-coming riders during the summer Turf campaign.
Gordon rode her 22nd winner of the Turf season and 39th of the year on Cold Fusion at Newmarket on Friday and trails Marquand by only three winners, with the pair split by Joe Doyle on 23 winners.
If she could lift the title she would emulate Amy Ryan (2012) and Hayley Turner (2005), Britain’s most successful female Flat jockey who retired last year but is coming back to ride for the Girls’ team in the Shergar Cup at Ascot on August 6.
Ironically, Gordon’s win on Cold Fusion came in the race in which Turner made her competitive comeback. ‘When I look at Josephine, she’s much better than I was at the same stage of my career, she’s really good,’ said Turner, nominating her as the most likely current jockey to emulate her achievements.
Gordon’s tally includes wins for Hugo Palmer and Sir Michael Stoute but not so long ago, riding a winner for one of the country’s top trainers would have seemed a million miles away. Her first 60 rides yielded a solitary success and there was an 18-month gap between that and her second victory.
Little wonder Gordon almost turned her back on trying to become a jockey — twice. First when her initial job did not yield rides and then when she felt that progress had failed to materialise.
‘I gave up for a few weeks,’ she said. ‘I went back to Devon to decide what I was going to do. I was looking at jobs abroad, not race riding, just galloping racehorses. But I just thought I had to give it one more chance, otherwise I’d regret it.
‘That’s when I got in touch with Lambourn trainer Stan Moore and said, “I want it but it’s up to you to you give me rides”. We got along and he threw everything my way.’
Gordon pinpoints three wins on Moore’s The Burnham Mare last year as a turning point. She said: ‘It got my name out there. A few other trainers like David Evans picked up on me and others followed.’
Now she can even look back on the testing times as a positive. ‘It did get me down but, having now had these winners, I won’t get cocky. I have been in that dark place and I don’t want to go there again.’

a transformation from Teruntum Star there after a couple of SHOCKERS under Gordon.
Do you think Stott would have won on the horse in those two races then?

At no point did I say that, but what was noted on the day, particularly last time, and stridingedge will remember which thread it was (Andrew's?), was the stinking, rancid drift on the betting that preceded an absolute stinking run. Hth.
according to sky the horse went off
at the price it opened up the 4 times
she rode it,apart from 1 opened 5/1
SP 6/1.

I'm sure it went out to double figures, cuz it commented on one of the treads (as I said, I think Andrew's, stridingedge may be able to remember, cuz he said it would win back on turf), but obviously it must have come back in a bit.
Whatever, after two runs under Gordon where it finished 6/6 and 7/7, and was virtually pulled up to a walk last time, there was a transformation in its form today.

This thread is about Gordon, and I've happened to notice that having finished last on its last 2 runs under Gordon, TS came out today and won under another jockey. This is all fact.
So being that the thread is about an alleged decline of form by this jockey I assume you blame the jockey for her past defeats on the horse. Otherwise why not start a thread about the rapid transformation of form by the horse.
It is universally accepted good horses make good jockeys, not the other way round. However, good trainers do not make horses run faster, but bad trainers make good horses run slower.
it was i who started this thread in no way suggesting josie is in any way riding horses to mirror exchange drifts,what i am saying is that a jockey who rode 106 winners in 2017 has ridden 5 winners in 2019 has one mount between tuesday and saturday this week has lost position with hugo palmer has to be a story hats not in public all the trainers who supplied mounts and winners 2 years ago now dont want to know
It's very strange by far the best female i've seen on the flat in this country,trouble is once confidence goes it can take two or three seasons to come back the way it's going she won't be around seems incredible...
well into the flat season josie getting a lot less mounts than i imagined still difficult to see how her star has fallen so far so quickly
Gerald Mosse class jockey 1 winner this season, Tom Quealey Frankels jockey 1 winner this season, its tough.
