Where are the jockeys with " character " ?

Not sure i remember too much difference between an Eddery mumbling through interviews vs Ryan Moore tbh , bit of rose coloured nostalgia can easily kick in when comparing today with the perceived " good old days " which unfortunately has become human nature.

I'm more than happy with things as they are as i don't really believe a perceived lack of jockey character has or ever will cost me any money.

Comparing the blanket coverage of choice , access to everything required to give us every chance and two designated racing channels leaves the days of waiting for teletext results and hardly any live racing without wandering off to toboggan racing from China before the SP is known stone cold.

We've never had it so good in my view , unless someone loves a good moan of course.


Good luck today Rich , it's all about opinions   

Hayden...I get ya....not really on about interviews....more about ...in a 20 runner race etc, you could pick out one of the jockeys I mentioned quite easily.....now, I wouldn't know any of them if they were in the same pub as me !

Good luck to you also .....I'm doing very nicely so far this week, with the fancied type of runners I prefer to back.

jocks with "character" ...

1. should be in jail
2. in jail
3. dead

some may have achieved all of the above

Sam Twiston Dirty consistent

bit like pop stars   Morrison v Ed Sheeran

...Elise........LOL

sry, great jocks one and all

only saw frankie and fallon in the flesh, fallon especially impressive, saw him get one up in a race at epsom one oaks day, looked to have zero chance and as he came past where we were i heard his whistle and he got the thing up a nose in one of the best rides i think i saw on a track, came in like mr cool

...Yep...in the 90s , I owned quite a number of racehorses in partnership with a friend ,( no longer with us )....and Frankie, when he was very young...Fallon, and Eddery all rode for the two of us on occassions.
Funny thing was, I was actually "starstruck" by meeting them every time .....big characters...instantly recognizable ...........although apart from Frankie, not exactly chatty...lol

Sorry Rich got wrong end of stick

Lester was certainly a character.  Once signed an autograph for a forumite and sauntered off.
He signed as Willie Carson!  lol.

Lucky he didn't ask for some money..

I've heard Lester could be taxing at times.

Big owners not looking for characters,jockey is just ano5her employee to them
