Is Saffie the best jockey ever?
Is she?
If I put a pound on her at 40/1 do I win 40 quid? What would I get if she's placed?
jinxy will never be guilty of praising a jockey if he lives to be 100.
His whole life is dedicated to slating them day after day.

Mr woke Sparrow ! Fact Saffie is and always has been lucky to get the rides she does ! She has less ability than most !
Ok so she`s learning , but very lucky to be getting the chance !
You understand very little about ability ! !
Desperate for praise and friends
Saddo !

Mulrennan is well known for that sort of thing or have you just discovered that? The point is I don't have to jump on every thread about a jockey as you do. Forgotten more about this game than you will ever know boy.
She earned her fee there, horse wasn’t doing a tap until it hit the rising ground
A tabloid newspaper asked is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?
John Lennon Said He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles

I hope she's not claiming a fee for that disaster......stuck in behind in a race with a handful of horses?
Hartdly top class and 2 rides out the back today. Very average
1. 95% of races are won by the best horse on the day regardless of jockey.
2. the other 5% are won because of rider tactics and ability. That does not mean strength.
3. Most jockeys are riding to orders which may not necessarily be what they would do given a free hand.
The real skill that makes a difference is timing and balance in a finish. Murphy and Buick are among the best at timing their finish to win by a neck without having to give the horse a hard ride. Saffie has it to in my opinion. If you are referring to Luna Celeste, I had put in in the tipping comp but was doing something else and only monitored the odds in running. When it went out to double figures I assumed it was well beaten but then in a few seconds it was odds on again and then declared the winner. I still have not watched the race.

What Sageform said.
So many folk with throwaway lines about jockeys being "poor", "average" etc, when imo, the number of very good jockeys today compared to yesteryear is huge.
And , of course we have access to every single race ride today......legend sometimes comes with lack of everyday footage.
