Lious smith,the Olympic gymnast,a member of Huntingdon gymnastics club was approached by someone unknown to help out training jockeys.

Paul struthers and the bha,stated we have an image problem,betfair forumites are no mugs,they spot anything out of the ordinary in racing,they clearly see how when jockeys are jumping off horses at the last,it’s clumsy and blatant.



So they asked lious,to give training to jockeys ,of how to fall and land correctly.
They stated,we’ve got to pass the betfair forum smell test,we can’t fool these guys,

So lious set about,teaching the jockeys how to jump,fall and most importantly land safely.

Learning to roll upon landing was critical,to avoid injuries.

Unfortunately,Irish jockeys haven’t been offered this training,but the ihrb are looking into this,but given their lack of Olympians it could take a while.

It’s basically been left to fathers to pass on these skills to sons,but given the  Phillip Byrne affair,things need to change.

Ruby(blame the shadow)Walsh,said,I went to Russia to the soviet gymnastic team headquarters on a weeks intensive training,but loads of jockeys haven’t got the proper skills set.townend tries his best,but watching him in kids ball pits is embarrassing.

The betfair forum gymnastics trader,stated I ve looked at the videos,its a joke really,I’ve been trading on gymnastics since Nellie Kim got 3 golds in 76,and these guys are low 4.8s not 5.9s and 6.0s

No one fools the betfair forumites,they are collectively the most clued up bunch in the world.

Is this Lious Smith related to the Olympic gymnast, Louis Smith?

Is the above genuinely true regards the BHA and PJA? I understand it's not 1st Apr, but if so, the BHA and PJA are unprofessionally candid and probably embarrassed of the incidents where "jockeys" fell off their mounts clumsily. Hopefully tv cameras will be able to home-in on the "falling" jockey at every race, if necessary.

After initial enthusiasm the number of jockeys willing to sign up to the scheme fell off.

I think he must mean he is lying? As for this Ruby Walsh thing, anyone would think that this was written in the Bible the way he takes it as being the word of God.
