On Walsh about Doyle it was the mildest of criticism, more perceived than anything. He only really commented about where she was on the track.
I think Osborne looks a lot more tidy than Doyle, in fact most jockeys do. She seems to have a problem keeping horses straight and getting them settled, but as you say the cheerleaders can't see any wrong. |
|
By:
I was impressed with Osborne having watched her in the Racing thingy. She's also hungry for winners.

I've just listened to an interview with Kia Joorabchian on Nick Luck's podcast. He said the pair have had 'problems' all year but was reluctant to say what they were. Has anybody heard anything? It's worth listening to.

It will be interesting to see where they go next both for jockeys and trainers and what they buy in the Autumn Sales
He won't be going to the autumn sales, or the Tattersalls one at least. He's managed to fall out with them as well.  https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22435644/kia-joorabchian-amo-racing-money-dispute-tattersalls/ |

Will Stott be able to walk back into his old job at Ryan's?
I wondered if Neil Callan might become the main go-to man for Ryan, but that hasn't really happened, with the bulk of the rides being shared between Tom Eaves and Shane Gray. |

Tudhope is good. But, anything with the owner of King Of Steel has been short-term so far.
|
|
By:
If he thinks it's bad he should ask small breeders how they are treated by the sales companies. Set that aside, he is doomed to fail. He wants to become a 'big' player but he is just far too poor. You can't get sustained success by buying a horse for £1m+, you need to buy 10 of them.......every year.

Just had a look at AMO Racings filings with Companies House, Here are the rough figures from March 2016 onwards showing the net assets/liabilities (i.e net value of businesses as going concern):
16 -£216K 17 -£383K 18 -£216K 19 -£437K 20 +£455K 21 +21K 22 - £5.6M So if the company was wound up tomorrow there'd be £5.6M light in terms of paying their creditors. They really started investing from 2019 onwards with assets (presumed to be horses) going from £2.7M to £11.9M. They started to take on some serious debt to fund this buying spree. Accounts don't say who it's owed to (described as "other payables") and it may be to the director but even if it is this isn't sustainable long term. To me it's very strange anyway and shows a degree of arrogance. How many owners structure their activities in this way aside from the commercial breeding operations. If I was a creditor I'd be concerned. |

Just looked up the form record. It tells me that Augeste Rodin has met King of Steel 3 times and won each time
...at 3 different distances , on 3 different types of going , from the front and from behind. I can't help getting the impression that AR might actually be the better horse. Unclear what a jockey is expected to do to change that. |
|
By:
I'd have agreed if the Irish Champion Stakes was 12f. Then perhaps King Of Steel would be outstayed again. But, over 10f (he led the winner at Epsom) tracking the winner several lengths further back he'd allowed the AOB contingent (and winner) a head start; the winner needed every yard at Epsom to beat him and win.
I'm not advocating King Of Steel would have won. But, the position Stott took had made the task many times more difficult; he only lost by a length after being many lengths behind prior. |
|
By:
If a jockey gives them that kind of lead and wins, he's a genius. Loses by a length and he's on the dole.

how did AR beat KOS in KING GEORGE ?

Claims he doesn't know why he has been sacked. The bigger surprise should be how he got the retainer in the first place. Of course nobody in the media is going to admit that he just wasn't much cop. Instead all we will get is how he will take this on the chin and bounce back.

I suppose there is hope for everyone wehen the equally useless Egan is riding Group 1 winners.

Agree with the rank average rider getting the job in the first place

No more denials. Get that bikini back on. |

Do all the know-alls on here know what riding instructions the trainer gave Stott? Of course they dont.

Megan going through Kev's phone looking for Loughnane & McMonagle numbers

By:
To be fair, he should be bloody grateful that he got the job at all.
A nice hefty retainer and I imagine a decent payoff considering the sacking. Can't really complain considering the level of his ability as a jockey, which is fine, but not much more than that. |

No crystal ball, but the "off the racetrack" issues allegedly evolve around Little "Miss Pushy" constantly referring to Amo Racing as "we". As though it was her being involved in decisions around where the horses run or where they should go. When in reality she has no influence whatsoever, other than being the girlfriend of Amo's employee.

By:
surely he didnt sign a contract for one season only with this mob,so he,ll get his contract paid up and still get plenty of rides elsewhere, besides KOS,whats he missing out on some early season 2 yr olds next season and speedy 3yr olds who,ll be hard to place

Derby form garbage yet AMO believe they have Pegasus on their hands.
Ace Impact not even bothered to show up to the gig so as not to embarrass the combatants. |
|
By:
I think Ace Impact will at Newmarket Champion Stakes if he bombs in The ARC. Otherwise, stallion duties awaiting.

The next Amo jock
Paddy Power: 2 Rossa Ryan, 3 David Egan, 5 Billy Loughnane, 8 Ben Curtis, Benoit de la Sayette, Colin Keane, Ronan Whelan, 10 Sean Levey, Oisin Murphy, 16 Charlie Bishop, Silvestre de Sousa, Seamie Heffernan, Clifford Lee, Oisin Orr, Kieran Shoemark, Danny Tudhope, 20 Saffie Osborne, 50 Gary Halpin I think given the Brazilian connection, SDS at 16s makes most appeal. |
