I know you could argue loyalty, but I think Woods is lucky to just walk back into the job. Jones by far the better jock of the two. I would hope some of the owners who have benefitted would still use Jones.
It would be disappointing if Jones is now back to where he was before the Pauling link. You have a similar situation with Hobbs where Jones is better than Nolan.

horses don't jump well for woods
they hang, they pull & his judge of pace is crap imo
and he's in the bottom 5% on the figs to validate the eye test

I backed the winner there but if Jones had've been on the other one I would've backed that instead.
Really pleased for Jones to get that Festival winner.
Always in a good position, and love the way he committed at the last two fences. Any mistake and he might have been in trouble.

I have felt for a while that he will be stable number one at Paulings soon enough.
And that could be a very good job over the next few years, as Ben seems to be one of the guys who is getting a lot of the nice young horses that escape the clutches of Mullins and to a lesser extent Gordie.

didn't sound like that when pauling appeared on LOS the other week, he was doubling down on woods if anything
I hope you're right tho

haha pauling thinks that was 1 of the rides of the week pmsl
he beat every other horse a mile, just met a rallying stayer.
whip comes out & booting clear near chase track 2 out
on heavy with the hill...that's FAR too early

He didn't do a lot wrong and gave it every chance. It was a very decent effort imho
Ride of the week a bit OTT

horse was going so well near chase track 2 out you do not kick then & the whip shouldn't even be close to being seen
Nailed on the line it happens to the best most days
Can't remember many years when so many races had 10 horses in contention after the second last but by the line they were spread over 50 lengths or more. That hill has always sorted them out but surely never as much as this year.
Shame he got the last wrong. Like you guys say seems strange pulling the whip out and booting him early on to only try and pop the last.
If he'd have gone for a big one at the last could understand it but to shove him on then lose a lot of momentum by just popping the last probably cost him.

yep
2nd didnt jump the last any better, idled up the run-in and caught final stride
sit and wait you would ask why not kick on? boot on and try to steal an advantage and the guy is nearly crucified!
Damned if you do damned if you dont!

He saw he was clear on the screen hence opting for safety first at the last. Of course that's what everyone said Moore should have done on Goshen.
My quibble would be that he could have brought him to the outside instead of being in acres of real estate on his own.

He might had pinged the last and folded sooner, think people are being to critical.
whether it was jump at last or stamina but looking at horses stride the eventual winner was going 2 to the 2nds one up the hill,would have won 5 lgth in another 50 yds
He got the fractions absolutely spot on before that regardless and just very unlucky. Hate to see horses lead all the way like that apart from on the line
goshen was 10 clear lets not pretend its comparable
i was on that was it williams or vaughan triump runner 30 clear caught on line ,few yrs back 
yep, too much time to think about it I'd say, would have been better off with something on his tail at the last. thems the breaks, got 90% of it spot on.

Very unlucky. Criticism from armchair jockeys not justified.

evidently not as he was beat. far worst rides this week like JK dawdling around on a thorough stayer with probably a stone in hand and getting outsprinted.

yes the mare who pulled hard under restraint desperate ride
Another cracker from Ben Jones on Slipway. Made my day. Embiricos/Rogerson colours go right back to Pas Seul.
It looks to me that Tom Bellamy who was preferred to Jones at the Lavelle yard appears to have also taken the Ben Clarke job away from Jones. And people ask the question what's wrong with out trainers. Eyesight might be a starting point.
