Is the question is about integrity or ability?
|

By:
Forget the second "is"

By:
They can all pull one when told so i reckon we gotta go on ability
Changed my mind, Mace Roberts  |

everything rolled into one , an example is when jockies give up and not try for a place that really annoys!

Dettori makes the least mistakes per percentage of rides.

Do you mark every single jockeys rides then , and judge 'mistakes' ?
|
|
By:
Most of them are ok they usually ride to orders so it is really which trainers do you trust
but there are 2 jockeys i Never back G.Lee and B.Powell |

By:
laid 140.0 G.Lee would get a mention on this one

Does"jockeys"and"trust"in the same sentence count as an oxymoron?
|
|
By:
Before I realised each way was for mugs a few years ago I hated Dettori - would never ride out for the place if he knew he wasn't going to win.
Now that I only bet on the nose he's by far the best and most trustworthy |

Depends what is meant by trust. There are a few jockeys I swerve on grounds of incompetence rather than corruption. I choose not to believe that jockeys are routinely hooking up horses on trainers' orders or layers' bribes.

I agree. My criteria are competence and consistency but as a punter, we don't always know which jockeys are carrying an injury, illness or other reason for having a poor week. SDS could not ride one side of a horse 3 weeks ago and went 14 days without a winner but seems back now. Oisin Murphy, David Probert and Will Buick will do for me week in week out. They all have strengths and weaknesses but Buick is the best on an inexperienced novice. All 3 win a lot of photo finishes which is very significant imo.

By:
Just shows how everyone can have different opinions Sageform I would think the complete opposite re Buick.
|
|
By:
Bear in mind the type of horses that Buick rides MJK. Classically bred and often needing a run but he wins a lot of races by just coaxing them into the lead in the final strides without picking up the whip. If they finish placed under a tender ride, back them next time. Adayar for example!

Obviously none of them are fully trustworthy. Piss weak and ill-judged rides are given every day - even by the so-called "elite" riders. From race2race they all flirt in and out of Champ and Chump status.

By:
@ProSniper -- ... "Piss weak and ill-judged rides are given every day"
Yes, although often it is only with hindsight that a particular ride is ill-judged. Often success or failure of any plan depends what the opposition does, and that is usually not known in advance. In many races it does not really make much difference. Flying Dancer is not within 10 pounds of the winner even if maybe it could have come fifth instead of sixth if the jockey had gone half a furlong earlier or later. |

MJK, guess we could trust them to do some things right...  |
