Why do trainers/owners put useless apprentices up on their horses. Any decent Jockey would have got Kentucky Kingdom up to win the Chelmsford 18:30.
No excuses, jockey has no drive whatsoever. Hope this is not the future!

I do Sparrow. The horse looked to be well-in to me beforehand with the race set to suit, so I thought it would win DESPITE the jockey. But I was wrong even with the race working out perfectly.
Joe Leavy's riding record speaks for itself. Shouldn't be riding any decent horses. |
