Who is the best jockey riding at Cheltenham this year iyo?

Are there No Horses running this year .... Just Jockeys.

Financial gain or loss regarding riders as far as the punters are concerned on giving opinion

Beaten shd = sh!thouse

Win shd = best thing since sliced

Difficult call imv….

What a strange reply. Would you back a fancy with Caoilin Quinn on board?

**Just as a matter of interest has anyone got a link for the top jockey betting at the festival?

Not a strange reply at all

When did a Jockey last Win a race without a Horse underneath him?

Seriously it would have to be Davy Russel…..horseman and strength regardless his age

You could have looked it up on your phone

Thanks GEORGE.

or with the bookies

1/3 Townend

1/8

Mullins trainer….

On second thoughts GEORGE that didn't come to fruition.

should work in the new forum, stewy, if not, copy and paste into the browser

Davy Russell

or failing that, horse racing  > specials

George is right…..special bets…..sackloads….

Townend 1-5 with 365

19 Irish winners or more……1/2…..I rest my case……ffs

Link works here

4/7 Townend looks decent imo. Got it in the specials. Nico 11/2. Will phone Manny's tomorrow. Probably 1/2. If I can get on for a few bob I have another 1/2 in mind. Pays exactly 5/4.

The 1/5 fav with 365

I think all the current crop of jump jockeys are much of a muchness

last 100 townsend mounts 1 over 7/2

walofs

It depends in which context, PT is obviously going to take a lot of beating for top Cheltenham jockey with all the WPM runners, but for actual horsemanship, maybe Paddy Brennan who doesn't get the rides he should.

I'm shocked stewyb has plumped for the jockey going to ride the highest number of FAVOURITES. Jeez, change the record.

A.in.S Brennan? One of these days I'm sure he's going to fall out of the back of his horse.

could nsme 20 flat jocks who would also have been unbeaten riding frankel.

Danny is the most improved and is good value @ 20/1 , esp. if anything happens to Paul.

Swiftynifty,

He has a good strike record considering he doesn't ride for a top stable. I'm obviously not talking in terms of top jockey at Cheltenham though.

Townend is obvious for leading jockey, but the Mullins winners will inevitably be shared around.

I have to say Andrew that post took me by surprise. In the last three months I haven't backed one of his mounts. A poor excuse for a jockey (IMHO). The amount of times I've seen him ride with his backside going up and down is embarrassing at best.


Furthermore I'm convinced Cue Card would have won at least one Gold Cup with a decent pilot aboard. He personally robbed that horse of a Gold Cup win, again, (IMHO)

Christ, sometimes it's like educating pork. Absolutely  nothing to do with riding favourites, the title of the thread to remind pork man.....


Who is the best jockey riding at Cheltenham this year iyo?


It doesn't get simpler than that..

So if Paul Townend had a couple of 100-1 shots and nothing else you'd be saying he was the best jockey riding at Cheltenham this year?

Pull the other one. He's favourite , you back it. I think we know the pattern by now.

So if Paul Townend had a couple of 100-1 shots and nothing else



Top jockeys seldom ride 100/1 shots. Hope this is of some help.

On the subject of educating pork your 'mentor' that you speak so fondly of, he must've had the job of all jobs, you are as thick as mince.

Russel-Townend-Cobden.

swifty fuming for talking p1ss. Pork a wee bit thicker than mince. That aside it's all about who is the best rider at Cheltenham this year. Nothing to do with how many favourites the jockey of your choice rides.

Blackmore

You can’t possibly say Townend is the best riding at Cheltenham ffs…..99% of the riders all win on point and shoot material

A poor excuse for a jockey (IMHO)

Looking at the NH able for all jockeys that have won a minimum of 10 races, only one is above him for % wins (Paddy Brennen 28% v Harry Cobden 29%)

A fortunate rider….imv..

Good call Shlotter.

Blackmore !!

Jesus!!!  Ffs

@onlooker

"When did a Jockey last Win a race without a Horse underneath him?"

And when did a horse win without having a jockey or rider?

Blackmore for me.

On a gambling forum a jockey is only as good as his/her last ride.

I think that we have some very talented young lads coming over this year, and I think they are the future. M.O'Sullivan will be riding for Barry Connell on a few really well fancied ones and Jordan Gainfort will be riding for Gordon both these lads are worth a watch . I can see them fighting out a few finishes during the festival, you have been warned...

This rider is quality and doesn’t like using the whip……top job awaits….imo..

Who is best jock riding at kempton tonight iyo

If by some chance the Grim Reaper crept up on me and challenged me for my life...
Like what happened to Max Von Sydow in the Seventh Seal...
And offered me a novice hurdle full of unraced maidens to find the winner....
Without a moments thought I would back Rachael Blackmore in Ireland or Bryony Frost in the UK..
And thats just the way it is.

Duke of Alberqueque

One for the oldies there :)

AIS..with 123 winners (second only to Nicholls) not sure it can be said Brennan isn't riding for a top stable numerically anyway

Davy is the best ...no question

54 year old John Thorne ……most can ride one that’s best and ready…..ffs…..tbf….

Don't say I didn't tell you..

Great call Workrider,he's been excellent all season.

Sure has Punchestown and plenty more to come from the lad.

McCoy says Paul t ride in gold cup was one best  he seen.

1/5 365 they new

Does anyone honestly need to see the Cheltenham final result to see Townend is not only currently but for a good while the best NH jockey riding?

Stewart

MJK the blind they cannot see
But go tell everyone
