Disgraceful ride, hunted it round the back and cruised into 2nd without ever putting it in the race.

Looked like hard work stopping it from winning.

Obvious non-trier and no action from the stewards who surely must be in on it.

Didn't understand all the plaudits regarding the ride on Marine Nationale.

It was so much the best horse in the race all he had to do was keep it out of trouble.

Having kept an eye on BY YOUR SIDE since his Ed Dunlop days and backed for the Fred Winter last week(money back NR)I felt the early evening price(6/1)was too good......seems it wasSad...will they dare rock up at Aintree or Punchestown now after that..

How are they getting away with this? BYS was cantering at the rear cruised into 2nd was never put in the race. Surely that's a non-trier.

Obviously they're getting it ready for a punt but this is taking the p*** it should've won by a street, ridiculous.

Towards rear, headway into 6th 3 out, soon pushed along, ridden and went 4th at last, improved into 2nd inside final furlong, kept on well close home but not reach winner op 10/3

Coming off 2 falls I'd say the lad was told to get the animal round safely,we know that shouldn't happen but it does and all over the place,just look at any big field Maiden Hurdle where about 6 out of 25 are trying and the rest at the back the whole way around.

It's just more obvious in small fields.

raced in last throughout, ran on run-in but never involved

I really wish punters would stop defending cheats. BYS was not ridden to win that much is obvious. Stop helping them steal our money.

Non-triers are commonplace, multiple times every single day. We need to fight back, call them out, sue them, highlight the issue, create a pressure groups.

Those responsible for policing the sport aren't doing their job, so the punters need to do it instead.

As long as it stays a closed shop it's not going to change,99% of the racing media terrified of saying anything negative or pointing the finger at a suspicious ride for fear of excommunication from the train.

Once in a blue moon the sherry drinkers haul a minnow over the coals to make it look like they're doing something but the big fish swim by.

how is it that sherry drinkers has become a term of abuse? it should be celebrated as sherry is a much under-valued sherbet. a fino or manzanilla is one of the greatest things espana has given the world.

its a marvellous thing

--------------------

Ruby is not a million miles away from calling it out and I've heard him criticise a good few rides without accusing skulduggery yet as the motive for the poor ride but I think if jockeys rebuke him for having an opinion he's only going to go harder on them in future.

Form pressure groups and sue the sh1t outa them, lawyers fees divided by thousands would be pretty cheap.

I'd love to see a thousand punters boo the jockeys of non-triers... shame them into doing the right thing.

As things stand how can you possibly have a bet when you don't know if your jockey is trying to win the race?

high_lander,it’s been going on since day 1…….the game is rancid to the core…..if you boo a rider the tv brigade and journalists alike will frown upon you……

How many jockeys have been banned for being undesirable in the past twenty years or so ? Countless

You couldn’t make it up…..

stand outside the weighing room and when they come out ask each if they're 'trying to win the race?' 

anyone says no put a line through it.

^ If they wink, touch their caps and waddle their arms their trying. If they look to the ground, touch their shoulders three times and do the Cleese/Hitler walk then it's a no. If they drop their breeches, point to their backside and give you the finger it's a case of mind your own ****g business.

Lads I was there yesterday and thought he gave the horse a good ride , horse needs to be held up, smuggled it into the race nicely and allowed it to find its feet sadly the winner was much to good , he will ride it exactly the same next time of that I'm sure and hopefully win ..

Workrider he rode it way too confident & gave it far too much to do .His success of last week probably clouded his judgement. Obviously pace judgement will come with experience. A ride Jamie Spencer would have been proud of.

This is what we're up against, idiot punters who think jockeys don't fix races. You are the same low IQ eminently suggestable dolts who believe every single piece of propaganda from the BBC news. The same clowns who vote Tory even though they steal all your money and give it to the rich. Britain is well and truly f*****
