Yep, 100 % correct ^

He'd ride for about 100 different trainers a season. No-one would suggest he is anywhere near the best jock in NH, or even in Sussex!, BUT some of the stuff on here is in fruitcake territory.

No matter what he did, did not do at the last, the horses legs got caught up, half inch difference and it wins, end of.

SICKOFLAYINGWINNERS.... moores fault - i didn't realise how far clear i was"   whichever way you look at the fall, not knowing howler clear he is cannot be anyone else fault but his in truth.maybe if he ha taken it steady, even with the horse clipping its ow  heels he may have survived, i sure we've seen riders stay aboard after worse  blunders. but we can see how it happened and  obviously not as bad as it looked at the time. 

Is this still your considered view?

Mick is right. He was going far too hard into that last hurdle.

you have to wonder if people making comments like this actually watched the race..WALOFS

The horse made the mistake at the last, end of.

I'd have to say about 40% jockey error for being too animated right up the straight and particularly at the final flight and 60% just simply freaky bad luck as the horse simply couldn't find a leg because of the horses leg tied up issue.No clear cut blame is attached to anybody or thing,this is horse racing lads..we all know the risks,get over it...(I backed it).

if moore rode it perfectly into the last he'd still have got slaughtered.

dunlaying - sensible question, that no one has yet asked. He's a biggish boy but nothing is disproportionate. Key here is that "locked" shoes - front rear to rear front is very unusual.

The video clip on Twitter of the locked shoes is staggering.
Never seen anything like it

Must be a million to one shot

Will make Jamie and connections feel a bit better about it all

ITV showed it as well willie, boundd to show it again today.

Watch the side on slow motion (ITV) , A jump jockeys legs are meant to act as a shock absorber when a horse lands. No problem with Moore's approach to the last and how he presented Goshen at the hurdle, the horse stumbled after the hurdle and Moore's legs remained stiff and straight. He was not relaxed , the adrenalin overtook him, top jocks like russell, johson, de boinville would have been relaxed and just bent there knees and sat back in the saddle..it was avery minor error....The moores ride like flat jockeys, cant think of any of the top 10 NH jockeys who would have unseated there.
But spare a thought for poor Jamie, he must be gutted, done everything right before then...hopefully he gets redemption in Champion Hurdle 2021...get yer head up Jamie !

Clearly very unlucky but he was bouncing around in the saddle all the way round, I actually thought he must have a slipped saddle or similar - if it were my horse I’d be sending it to Mullins, Elliot or Henderson pronto.

That said, Jamie would do well to heed the advice of the 7lbs claiming female amateur who won the Foxhunter. She had the good sense to look at the big screen to see where her opponents were in relation to her own position.

Whilst I believe some of the criticism is way over the top and there's no doubt the horse was extremely unlucky to lock hooves the fact remains the horse wasn't properly presented at the hurdle. I agree with unclepuncle ;if I owned the horse I'd send it to either one of those trainers or PN. The animal is a real live contender for the Champion Hurdle and needs to be given every chance.

Jamie tweeted this tonight

"Thank you to all the messages about Goshen yesterday, who was running like something not normal. From the bottom of my heart I’m genuinely so sorry to everyone I let down I really am,it’s been so tough to take but it’s happened, I hope he gets to show how special he is. Thanks"

Carson and Walsh made somewhat similar mistakes eg Walsh falling off at the last/Carson caught easing down so it's not Jamie specific. No body died - it will happen again. Get over it, just do not bet more than afford to lose.

To all the people coming on here criticising Jamie Moore:

I hope spewing your vitriol anonymously makes you feel better.  It's OK that you demonstrate what a brainless cretin you are, because nobody knows who you are.  Jamie Moore gets up every day and does a skilled, dangerous and unpredictable job under open public scrutiny.  He is twice the man you will ever be.  And he is far too big a person to take any notice of your anonymous hogwash.

Not every person in the public eye is the same.  Some people get upset by what is written about them.  Some even kill themselves.  Do yourelf a favour.  Don't leave yourself in a position where you might be lying there after your life has fallen apart wondering whether karma has bitten you on the arse for the harm you have done by talking balls about other people.  Think about whether you would say what you are about to type to the person's face, in front of the person whose esteem you care about most in the world.  Try to use the time doing something good for someone instead. 

NB: This is not directed at anyone whose comment is simply that, in their opinion, Moore made a technical mistake on the horse.  There is no reason why, in sensible terms, those who know what they are talking about cannot explain to these people why they have got it wrong, as some on here have tried to do.  But attacking ad hominem, and calling the fella all the fecks under the sun is not on.
