I'm constantly bombarded how balding stable is in good form , yes he has got winners but these stupid idiots fail to see he has got a hatful of hot favs stuffed too , displaying , miss herculean just to give u two at prohibitive odds but also many favs too stuffed but these media don't seem to see this , balding runs huge amount of horses daily and at weekends and I wouldn't classify him as on fire given the amount of his horses at prohibitive odds , I personally think balding stable could hit a flat soot soon and for the record they are not on fire at moment ,miss herculean and displaying ran as  if they were over top

concentrate on not upsetting the jockeys, or the trainers, or anyone else involved in racing. 
no such thing as a bad ride.

and just wing the rest ...

It's the same for all of them. There is no place for non-cheerleaders. If you were to take the likes of Harvey at face value you would think every stable is in form. Same for jocks.

As for Balding I have said before he strikes me as a slightly higher grade version of Mark Johnston. He must now have a massive stable. There appears to be no comparison to way his father used to operate. Good luck if you can land on the right ones. It's hard to know which is more difficult to get a handle on - the trainer or the jock?

during the 2022/23 season Mick Fitz described every jockey riding in Britain under the age of 23 as a "lovely lad". 

true fact.

every horse he saw in the parade ring from April 3rd to September 18th was a "lovely type".

I remember going on a stable visit - I think it was to Simon Christian's - and Fitzy was there. The impression I got was far more cocky little **** than 'lovely lad'.

several of the defendants at the Nuremburg trials called Fitzy as a character witness.  he told the judge Hermann Göring, Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Jodl, Erich Raeder and Karl Dönitz were all "lovely lads". 

"You could not wish to meet nicer people"

If you doubt that statement, have a read of 'The Racing Tribe: Watching the Horsewatchers' by the anthropologist Kate Fox.

It's pretty much an unwritten rule that nobody in racing bad-mouths anyone else in racing - just one big, happy-clappy, echo-chamber.Grin

Interesting it’s the impression that I get from the tv. He’s so secure in his cosy little number and he can’t help to show it.
Why we have him on the for the flat I’ll never know.
