Good day to you too cuckoo.
I'm not defending maxwell,  I'm not a fan nor is he 'my cup of tea" as a person, but I'd rather reach a ripe old age and have lived my life in the fast lane and have some amazing memories of having ridden around some fantastic courses in some great races against the top pros of his generation than not.
Fair play to him for earning the money and having the balls to go and do it , who doesn't want to live their dream ?

Sitting in an armchair regaling stories to his grand children  about how this cup was won..  Fantastic for him I say.

Alternatively sitting there telling the grandchildren  how he could have done these things but instead spent days on a forum commenting on people for poor jockeyship isn't quite as interesting a story to tell..

Thanks, you have a good afternoon too, just off to chelts in a minute for the hunter chase mtng, but it might be a bit too hot to move around as sweltering here.

Bloke has money - so can live his dreams even though it could impact on safety of others who want to themselves reach grand dad age.
Bloke crashes his car into a tree risking safety of others but because he's ridden a winners on a racecourse then thats ok, lets send him to rehab.

So cuckoo you have hit the nail on the head.
It's OK for people to ride in races and be a potential danger to others - because that's the nature of riding in races.
BUT , if they have money you slate them because to you it's a class thing and perish the thought anyone should earn enough money to be able to follow their dreams while you can't...
Yet you hide your bitterness through the veil of it being a safety issue where they are a danger to others.

I think maxwell has proved he's not a danger to others in the fact he is licensed and has ridden in hundreds of races without causing harm to others .
In fact I know of several top flight jockeys who have said he's fine to ride against and they have no issue with him.

It only seems to be the pocket talkers or jealous types having a gripe because none of the racing professionals have a problem with it.
Whenever I speak to any of them, if he crops up in conversation they all seem genuinely happy for him and grateful for his contribution to racing.

He does no harm to anyone and benefits all who he has horses with.
Thanks, but no time to be on here

Didn't see the race live, so after all this I just watched the replay. Very strange that there has been no mention at all of Edward Sexton veering left across the track after 3 furlongs when leading the field and putting himself out of the race. As was said earlier, when a horse decides to do something that extreme, there is very little any jockey can do. I thought Mr Maxwell rode a fine race and was just unlucky that the horse decided to hang badly left in the final furlong when the winner got upsides him. Fwiw I am not convinced he would have won anyway as Mr James is stronger in the finish and had the momentum.
