top class jockey ?

not long imv...

never spoke about in those terms previously...

now he's riding top horses the expert pundits will be falling over themselves to slobber all over him and 'The Gosdens' for having the foresight to spot such a talent.

when all that's really happened is he is riding better horses and the term 'top class' is just tagged on by lazy journalists...

in my view.

utter shambles sparrow...

constant slobbering...

absolutely no investigating whatsoever...

everyone is a wonderful human being...

every winning ride is a great ride...

all clerks of the course are world class...

i mean that's just a few...

i could probably come up with a dozen more tbh...

complete joke which is why they irritate me so much tbh.

I'd like to ask Fitzy " Which jockeys are 'not' very popular in the weighing room. "

Coz the law of averages suggests that there must be a few wronguns amongst them.

Don't forget "the best stall handlers in the world" hibby.  Another one from Mapletoft.

As most of my betting hibby is on the AW I have to endure the man from time to time but to be fair nothing can be worse than Chapman.
Report HappyHibby March 30, 2024 1:10 PM GMT
not seen Chapman for years tbh sparrow but at least he does 'mix it' a bit...

always thought he was a wannabee Big Mac way back in the day...

no doubt he does his fair share of slobbering but from what  remember he did at least question rides on occasion.

Jockey can lose races too eg Moore at Royal Ascot regularly.

but are you telling me choc thornton wouldnt have won on vautour , big bucks or kauto star ? of course he would

as for the flat look at queally on frankel .

Queally nearly lost one on Frankel, did he not? As long as the jock does not lose a race he ought to/should have won it's all good to me.

judging by skip macarri's thread it looks like Chapman has already decided he IS a top class jockey now...

didn't think it would take long before the expert pundit's Q'd up to pat Gosden on the back for making such a wise choice.

Don’t laugh but K O’Neil is a better ‘horseman’ riding and getting good wins from the moderate material around the gaffs…
