He may not be the best ever jockey but when one short priced ride finishes last and then the next one wins like the best novice chaser in GB, you have to question what is going on in the yard, not the quality of the rider. Mind you I could not for the life of me see how Thats Life was evens when the RPRatings were more or less the same for all 4 runners.

I would trust Nico to point your truck in a straight line better than you could any perceived point and shoot horse tbh Quixall, the easiest thing I ever did was passing my HGV 111 at 17 and then pointing and shooting. Much easier than riding my hunters 30 miles from where you are!! LoL ffs….what did you do with the class 3 Cag ? |

By:
I think you know which horse I meant. And please tell me if you have a a reason to think Thats Nice would ever beat any of the other three regardless of course or jockey. The race it won at Warwick was a really poor mares only!

Constitution Hill is doing good. He's every chance of making the X'mas Hurdle at Kempton. ????????

Moron impossible, you stated NH should shut up and do no updates, that is fact ,as is it would make no difference to you or the other poster boys for the GC, you and they need help and it does not involve the betting industry.

Elliot was going to put Nico up on one of his, if his own jockeys had not made it time from Ireland last week.
|
|
By:
it would have been the JP one tbf, but these owners rarely put jockeys own that they think are ***** Bowen is a very good jockey too..Most of them are these days compared to NH jockeys of 40 years ago.

Nice schooling gallop on Spirit of Legend at Leopardstown. Granted his jumping was iffy but whenever he threatened to pass a horse, the rider took him back.

3.45pm Cheltenham - Finding a way to lose. I'm sure someone on here knows how to say that in Latin because that should be on Nico's DB's posh family crest. He was cruising around on Joyeuse but in the straight allows himself to get boxed in and the winner had got first run on him and the rest as usual is history. I do not understand how Henderson can go from having a stable jockey as brilliant as Barry G to Nico. The only explanation is that Nico is his posh boy mate.
p.s someone below said he looks like an amateur jock riding. Thats maybe too kind. |
|
By:
everything was cruising round including the ambulance with its handbrake on and the 66,s shot,hence the winner sprinting away on the snaff,and the fav finishing no further in front of the other 10 than he had been all the way round

1st time poster ..... I agree but Nico always finds a way to lose. He is an amateur quality jock riding for a big time stable. Joyeuse was in a good position at the turn so why with a ton of horse under him didn't he make a move then? Nico has no tactical nous nor can he recognise when the pace is too slow or too fast. One of the worst jocks I've ever seen at the elite level.
A question to anyone on here who rates him. If Henderson retired tomorrow would another big stable pick Nico up? Not a chance. He would have to retire as well. |

By:
average jocks would rather give themselves brownie points for been last off the bridle rather than attempting a race winning move which might result in them losing the race,if their last of bridle and lose they hide behind/blame the horse,lack of pace,no run etc,etc
