Oh, and Danny Mullins picked up winning rides on rivals in the first 4 of those at around 4000/1
|
|
By:
Nothing wrong with his jockeyship/race-riding on the evidence of Gaelic Warrior there.
|
|
By:
He's not Ruby is he far from it.
|
|
By:
This time he let Facile Vega come home in her own time rather than flogged the horse till thy kingdom come like he did with Lossiemouth.
|
|
By:
Ruby was exceptional I agree.
|
|
By:
Hard to top Ruby
|
|
By:
Will he still be stable jockey this time next year? Willie didn't sound happy today nor yesterday
|
|
By:
What did Mullins say?
|
|
By:
I said to myself f**king hell Townend, don't get stuck behind that 100/1 donkey on Lossiemouth just before it fell back and stopped him. I've never ridden a horse but it was obvious watching the race on the box. He rides some good races, but some shockers as well. He's no Ruby.
|
|
By:
Anybody could have won on Gaelic Warrior. Stone in hand (at least).
|
|
By:
Willie said he hoped Lossiemouth did not have too hard a race and that PT should have accepted the situation when her chance was gone and not given her a hard race. He is afraid the race will have left its mark on Lossiemouth. Today he said PT rode Facile Vega like a machine and not a horse. next time they will ride it like a horse. He said Danny gave the winner a cute ride

Cheers.

By:
A touch of the Gosden's/Dettoris then. Stupid jockey really.
|
|
By:
Lossiemouth was poor, but today is just back fitting from the outcome.
|
|
By:
Cheers mrcombustible
Pretty damning comments from Willie, clearly not a happy bunny. Getting beat on five odds-on favs (including three log odds-on) especially when it included at least two questionable rides also pretty damning. |
|
By:
I hope he's not choosing to go down the same route as the stuntman. As has been said too many very questionable rides on long odds on shots. He's not jumping off them is the only difference.
|
|
By:
It is ironic though that people are jumping on board with the criticism of riding the horse too hard in the straight to try to catch the leader. The same people would have slaughtered him if he just sat up turning into the straight and didn't get placed.

Ted Walsh was on Luck on Sunday yesterday and he was with your opinion MJK
|
|

By:
It was live from Leopardstown with Ted Walsh,Jane Mangan and Brian Gleeson. I didn't realise that Gleeson bred and owns Saturday's bumper winner ridden by his son
|
|
By:
Yeah pity someone didn't stick a microphone up his hooter before the race and ask him how it would run...
|
|
By:
I was surprised to see him talking and acting like a normal person instead of the gurning and buffoonery he usually carries on with, irritating little McCririck light.
|
|
By:
Townend bit like Buick, always on the best horses so obviouly wins races, but neither are any great shakes in the saddle. At least Ruby had the decency to either fall of them or bring them down with his antics.
|
|
By:
Highly unlikely there will ever be another jumps jockey anywhere near as good as the peerless Tony McCoy.
|
|
By:
When McCoy got the JP job and started riding at the big Irish meetings he was mote often than not tactically outridden by Walsh and Geraghty.
|
|
By:
Dream on mate.
|
|
By:
AP without equal.
|
|
By:
Mjk right, Irish trainers used to hate when A.P was parachuted in.
|
|
By:
Aye ye mean he was replacing some other's on JP'S he never or rarely got outside reads on a regular basis
|
|
By:
Rides^^^
|
|
By:
AP could never give the horse the confidence that Ruby could over a fence

Made me laugh Bentring, love the humour.
|
|
By:
I wouldn;t dispute what MJK says about anything on this thread. And I like his frankness in the face of some resistance.
|
|
By:
MJK was one of the best flat jockeys Ireland produced in recent years!!
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Townsend lost it with me when he jumped off the likely winner at the last fence a few years ago. Something very dodgy about the man.
|
|
By:
its townend by the way
|
|
By:
Bookies pay a lot of money to get an odds on turned over. Especially one that will be in practically ALL multiples. The stuntman sold himself. Hope townend isn't doing the same.
