He's charged with being over the limit, I'm taking that as fact.
We know for a fact that he crashed the car into a tree.
We know for a fact that the passenger received serious injuries.
In all seriousness, we all understand about human frailty and we're none of us perfect, but you've got to draw the line somewhere before the worst happens.

Yes it is Duffy.

Lots making excuses for him when none are needed.

Duffy you missed out the refusal of giving the sample.

Personally Mo Farah’s rep was tarnished by not giving two samples on arranged dates. After the Olympics everyone talked legacy.

His legacy is up in the air at the moment and he is in the shady dodge-pot category with Mo - to add to his list of ever growing bad judgments!

Quote them or recite them verbatim giving forimites handle.

don't talk utter sense NE

Judgementals rule on here elise

Being multiple champion jockey isn’t much of a legacy  in the great scheme of things, if he doesn’t change his ways he has that to take with him!

And that old saying - I coulda ….

If that’s aimed at me then you can’t read human to human. Sour? Well it’s a short word to spell!

A civil matter?

You're obviously referring to something else, this is a criminal case.

Civil in the sense that outside of his job Murphy is a civilian.

Civil in the sense that outside of his job Murphy is a civilian.

Go on then, what does that even mean and what's your point?

You couldn't quote them because you can't Dela. Because they don't exist. Most if not all of your posts on this thread along with Duffy contain pure speculation and conjecture. I can only speak for myself but I am debating whether the BHA should have any jurisdiction or authority at all on whether Murphy can continue his job at this present moment and even after settlement. I think he should. The offense is a civil matter which is yet to be settled. Your posts are driven from an emotional view point rather than factual. Christ, it's like talking to the wife.
Rate reply:

Sirs been at the gin ??

Obsessive and judgemental would do for starters duffy

Murphy turns up to work and midway through a race pushes a jockey off a horse like soinillon did to rossa Ryan was it? Then the BHA have every right to dole out punishment. The offense he committed was as a civilian not a jockey. BHA have no right to stop him earning a living regardless of outcome of criminal proceedings in the civilian world which is where the offense was committed.

I simply  couldn’t be bothered as had already touched on them in a previous post if you’d of read without your biased  motherly over protection for a wrong ‘un.

That needing him will only add to his feeling of being bigger than he is and fuel the monster within him.

Celebrate the good kick out the bad. No one outside of racing has heard of Lambourn or cares for it.


…”some of the things he's purportedly done are nothing more than a quiet Monday for some people.”

That’s some statement!

Nothing is unfounded, she was in the car with someone over the limit. We all have a choice.

If you go out with someone who carries a knife you’re as bad as getting into a car with someone who is under the influence.

In no other sport do they tolerate such bad role models or turn a blind eye. He’s ripping it out of everyone who has given him a chance.

No other jock before him was held up and promoted like he was by Chapman, he was in a very privileged position and abused it.

Bad apples only rot.

You can’t get more factual than my original post.

The girl deserves no sympathy whatsoever. She had a choice to get in the car or not to. She made the wrong one and is as complicit as him for not telling him to hand over the keys.

He should be kicked out of racing full stop given his track record.

FACT : you don’t get into a car that’s to be driven on a public highway by someone who is intoxicated and out of the game!


It really doesn’t get more black and white than that!


You mistake empathy for emotion. Which was shown because he obviously has problems and is likely to be an over emotional bloke himself - hence his favourite singer is James Blunt!

Don’t he write love songs? Hardly Rock ‘N Roll is he! I’d of thought more for female fans! ;)

I think the most ridiculous comment I’ve read on here on the subject is,…..”he’s absolutely vital for racing”.   Laugh

Basically saying - let’s all turn a blind eye make excuses as it happened outside the track, because , “He’s vital!”

This isn’t the same time is it when he missed a meeting after going to hospital with his farmers

Couldn’t agree more Impossible, however all of what you’ve suggested is easier said than done.

So many valid points here. Overall If he he has done wrong the appropriate book needs throwing at him. As a Non drinker/Non smoker/Nil substance abuse all my health, had the odd bet now and again , I hope he has not
let himself down again.
Some people get off on hoping the worst for others, some just like to see fairness. I like the lad and worry like some of my favourite sports stars Best & Higgins he does not go the wrong way, the demon drink & drugs
has blighted many careers in sport and us mere mortals. When he is right in himself he is infectious with his knowledge of racing. So please if you want him done, do so for the right reasons and not petty hate.
If he is gone you will have to find your next victim for hate.
ps Well done Calandagan...... smooth.
