Agree plenty more winners for EG, learning her trade well.
|
|
By:
She won by half a length on a horse that the market said should have won.
Nothing to write home about for me but now that she has been flagged I'll watch closely. A handy allowance and Hobbs and co; wouldn;t put her up if she wasn;t competent. Good luck to her. |
|
By:
There's already a thread about 4 threads below, and yes, she only just got home on a horse the market suggested would win far easier than that.
Hobbs not the greatest at spying jocks, highlighted by not using Jones anywhere near enough. |

Miss Ella Smart rode her second career race today and got her first winner - Stormingin. Well done her too. Bl**dy marvellous how well so many of these young girls are doing in the game.

I think Elizabeth Gale is doing well. Just because the market made her a short price does not detract from a canny waiting ride. Hobbs have not had much ammunition for the past 3 years but have a few more this time. Into The Park looks a really nice horse. LH if the price is the best guide, how come so many favs get beaten out of sight?
|
|
By:
I didn't say the price was the best guide. I did however say that the market decided before the race that Georgi was a strong favourite to win. And therefore should win. Or do you think favourites shouldn't win?
At the end the jockey and horse were all out. It was anything but a "canny" win. I repeat though, well done young Elizabeth Gale and good luck in your future career. |
|
By:
The market tells you who most PUNTERS think will win which is not at all the same as "should win" However it was favourite and I backed it on the strength of its previous run. She still had to ride a race and not follow the pace set by other inexperienced riders. Her only moment of panic was when going for a gap on the final bend that nearly closed.

Not that clown out of East 17!!

I've met Lizzie after her riding Tapley a couple of times and she got many admiring comments over her riding style from those in the industry afterwards. Well merited in my book as well.
Leaving that aside, she's a really engaging and charasmatic person full of positivity and displays pure joy at her love for the horses and best of luck to her I say. |
|
By:
Agreed. Natural enthusiasm! We are nothing without it.

skiptoomaloumacari,,I knew Brian many moons ago , had no idea that was his step daughter. Will try and catch up next time I see her on the course, thank you

Goes on Sevenofus in the 4.35 Chase at Wincanton today. Would seem a tough ask but good luck to her.
|
|
By:
Sevenofus looks to have a difficult task, she does get on these outsiders often. The top 3 in the betting look to be the horses to concentrate on. Im thinking about 3 or 4 places bet.
|
|
By:
Not much value though. Might sit and watch, she will give the horse a genuine ride, unlike some jocks riding atm!
|
|
By:
Thought this was another storm coming
|
|
By:
Yes it's a tough ask for Sevenofus, 4 places is within range though I would think.
|
|
By:
Lizzie again takes the ride tomorrow at Fakenham @ 16.25. (£10,562).
The going is described as "good, soft in places and soft in the two dips." That should be fine and the tight track should suit his running style and as a usually reliable jumper he's definitely in the mix in a very open looking race. 11/2 general price in the village. |
|
By:
All the Best Slippy, what ground does yours prefer.?
|
|
By:
i was hoping EG would get a couple of rides at Cheltenham tbh...
disappointing imv. |
|
By:
I cannot see Tapley out of the 1st 3 with this rider on board. Could even Win. A Geordieland on soft ground, yes please!¬ Good Luck all. I'm backing evens 1st 3(which I cannot believe the price) and EW
As slippy has mentioned tough handicap. |
|
By:
Without a doubt I am part of the Elizabeth Gale fan club. Put her on a decent rated horse, and she will make good decisions that most seasoned pro jockeys wouldn't. She is definitely above average for her level of expertise so far, IMO.
|
|
By:
GC, ideally good ground but today will be fine, I would like to think anyway.
He's proved to be consistent and Lizzie says his attitude is excellent and really wants to race. Very nice to read very positive views on E G.as well. I'm not going today unfortunately. |
|
By:
That 11/2 has long since gone, clear favourite now with all the firms.
|
|
By:
well done Liz.
|
|
By:
Another good ride, well done all.
|
|
By:
she's good imv...
hope someone believes in her and gives her some decent chances on decent horses tbh. |
|
By:
Nice one Slippy ( and liz )

Very tidy ride again from Elizabeth.
|
|
By:
Wow, I've just calmed down after that!
A tremendous effort from horse and jockey and I shouted Tapley and Lizzie home. Absolutely overjoyed. It's days like these that makes it all worthwhile. ![]() |

Well done Slippy. No better feeling.
