Fairly bad mistake at the last I think had something to do with it....went 1.05 in running
 |

By:
mistake cost it little in way of momentum..

Pretty sure he has been done over on the run in last three rides.
Horses he rides need a stone in hand. He pays the money and it is his hobby, so fair do's. Have to admire him for risking his neck on a regular basis. |

Cost little in momentum, is that a joke
  Stopping mistake and lost its back legs, the mistake surely cost it the race The only thing he did wrong was not going to the stand side rail |

Great ride and judged the pace perfectly ffs...Mishtake at the last scuppered it.

Most unlucky man alive the amount of odds on shots he loses on, or he's just useless...

By:
Not his fault. He has a bad leg

Forget the mistake, the question should be how any horse ridden by Maxwell can go to 1.05 with a flight still to jump and being no more than 2 lengths up, you can throw in the Fontwell hurdle run which although not the cause of defeat in this case, does has form so would have a value in the price.

good news for his backers,is he still 2 short of losing his claim,if handicapping/weights and measures mean anything surely no one would back him without his claim, must be carrying a further penalty every time he rides

By:
His win % is around the 20% mark for last 5 years of rides.
Odd in comparison to the abuse he gets, even though I don't like his style of riding either. How many other jockeys over jumps are beating 20% win rate? |
|
By:
James Davies (the jock who beat him on the run in yesterday) for comparison is around 6% for same time period.

By:
how much per horse has that cost him ?
he,s not paying £5 grand for a horse trained by a farmer in the hills somewhere |

his horses his choice to ride caveat emptor.

Might have finished 4th or 5th with a different jockey but no way was it beating that winner,fair play to him,takes some set of stones to ride round there at his age/ability.

Spartan Missile would probably have won if John Thorne had accepted Francome's invitation to ride but that's not what it's all about for the amateurs , they pay their dues so best of luck to them and their choices.
