Joesphine Gordon should be banned as long as Fallon was..

Dropped her hands and stopped riding to allow the huge gamble the win eh dodgy

Zero mention on RTV of course. Could see her panicking in last 50yds.

Ballinger Ridge style that
.

It did look bad I agree.

So rather than just let her horse hang in behind rivals and finish out the back she chose to hit the front just to make the whole race a bit more exciting? Jeez.

Interviewing Sean Levey now.
Howabout a word with Josephine Gordon.
An interesting few words I reckon.

Stopped riding... nothing said cos a bird...Stewards will say...Noted... come racing ..sooner the sytem crashes the better...as smelly as ya ll see and if not as inept as ya ll see to warrant a 12 month ban... need the Australian System to weed ot out imv ..

Backed the winner by the way and was ripping up the slip tbh lol but its whats racing has come to now...like VAR and soccer...not worth following ..

She's hard ridden it from over 2f out, hit the front over a furlong out, and the horse doesn't quite see it out. One for the "jockey coaches" to show to their pupils in order to demonstrate 'premature jockulation'.

If Spencer was on that, he'd probably just let the horse gradually make the ground up from 2f out, lead well inside the final furlong and win on the snaff.

Are you saying she came too soon?

Following the race, Josephine Gordon reported that CONFEDERATION, placed second, hung badly right-handed under pressure.

Trident, I'm saying I suspect she ran the penultimate furlong significantly quicker than she did the last one.

Yes head on suggests that. Horse is a monkey, ducks right/left at starts etc

rico will be having a look at your posts imv

Thought Frank came on time when on the Turnip eh lol For sure if Frank was on it and see the gamble defo comes too l8 to be beaten a nose then give Chappers abuse after for calling it lol Frank and JG whats wrong with the game .. if just inept get out the road and give lads like Billy the chance

Dave you don t think if an accountable system more in keeping with the Ozzie model would wittle the dodgy brigade no...

Agree with Adamanty lol swept under carpet...Noted ... lol

Everything is swept under carpet - no-one gives a sh1t in this horror show of a game ..... just sayin' :D

a ride comensurate with having a good bet on the fav.

Totally agree Shooda ..needs an overhaul .... In Oz 10 year and much better system there and ya feel like you re punting on summat s thats trying to win most of the time ...

horse hung because his run was done , she kicked far too soon . A very poorly judged ride

Agree Geoff lol one you love to see when just about ripping up the docket but in the overall scheme of things very sad....

I had an opinion regarding this female rider a while back……..I couldn’t disclose on here…..imo…

If you were trying to back a winner on the jolly, why would you ride like a demon to get clearly ahead of it right before the finish - that's what she did?

Stopped riding to my eye ... many ways to get beasts beaten Stu as ya ll know if listened to Dwyer s phone calls etc .. i think the slowly away one most popular ... getting one over racing another ... many many scenerios..not saying this happened here but on my 1st 2 viewings i thought dropped hands for a few strides and stopped riding ... generally if ya know how to ride like this lady does ya d ride like a demon in the final furlong not the 2 out but then could do a complete Callan and ride a finish 3 furlongs out but sure many ways but looks especially poor when one punted off the boards left to pick up the pieces but im sure the stewards will NOTE it lol

Really Ace ... mmmm adds up eh

Needs a complete overhaul top to bottom and base it on the Ozzie model with Stewards punishing harshly offenders and ppor riding offences ..over ise of whip etc in an evenly fashion ....then ya d see the sport as popular as there imv

Seemed she made a hefty effort to get it in front close home - was a very odd ride given her last second 'efforts' for sure.

Yeah agree Stu... exactly ... could be she ran outa puff but odd ya d build up all that momentum and granted hung and tricky if thats the case etc but then give up...very odd for sure ..m

Owner of runner up  'Catch Us If You Can Racing'. Ha Ha you couldn't make it up

Haha
