for pulling off the blind late.
Happening too often and although not in this case usually follows a drift.

Benji total agree with u and of u looked at daces ride on horse twice before  was absolute hideous too ,I dont know what beckett playing at , the horse in question is a very genuine animal too and that what makes the incompetence galling, the bha should fine beckett for this carry on , if this happened in India or hk it would  not be accepted

olddesperado, been saying it for years. 28-day ban, if you know the score with the horse and you're not happy, don't take the ride.
Report mitolo August 6, 2025 4:16 PM BST
cant do that

sometimes the blind is stuck because its been put on improperly or nag gets its teeth into it or gets caught in bridal

not alwayd jockeys fault and never the jockies
Report swiftynifty August 6, 2025 4:20 PM BST
can do what they like, I'd prefer starter says all blinds to be removed before final runner is loaded, or better still no blindfolds allowed full stop
Report Mics August 6, 2025 4:23 PM BST
It just shows the jockey coaches nowadays are not up to much , this incompetence with blind has become new phenomenon
Report uptheirons August 6, 2025 4:23 PM BST
Swifty,if the blinds were taken of that early they would miss the break for certain.
It's a very tricky situation.
Naturally,skuldugerry occurs on occasions

Mit, if you're going to take the pee out of his writing, at least correct your own first. Mischief (only jesting)
Report mitolo August 6, 2025 4:24 PM BST
that would rarver negate the need for them

what you could do is get ready to lay anything with a blind on or similar and take advantage of it. missed this one but got havana grey

The problem with this incompetence allows skullduggery and to be done on purpose for gains

I know, it's not a simple solution, but as you say very open to yuoknowwhat.

I remember one jockey who had dreadful luck with blindfolds, it was uncanny,  but then I guess it's a hard job to do when you've got one hand busy making sure the brown envelope is nicely tucked away in your back pocket.

Beckett should be locked up for the handling of man la Mancha , it's beyond incompetence now
Report mitolo August 6, 2025 4:28 PM BST
ironman, i dont think its much of an issue. if you are at it this isnt a very good way of doing it and no certainty to work. there are many better ways and i doubt many have been instructed to fumble around with a blind to stop the nag winning

Correct,mitolo.
If the jockey's weight is back as the gates open you get a "jawbreaker" which guarantees the start is missedLaugh

If Edward greatex got month ban which he should do , I can guarantee u it would focus the mind pretty sharpish and I can guarantee u he'd put more practice with it and be more competent , they guff he gave stewards today , the blindfold was put on wrong and caught on bit and that it took him second time to pull it off , u are the fuking jockey u should know if tangled in bit plus to avoid all that rubbish pull it off like u did second time for future reference , I've watched hollie doyle all her career and I've yet to see  her pull blind off wrong and hollie is small and wouldn't have same reach as greatex but she never did it wrong , even when she was apprentice at hannons , she was always capable to remove blind correctly as apprentice

Posts like your boorish attempts to be clever are one of the main reasons myself and probably many others rarely post here anymore and the forum descended into what it is now.

A horse is not allowed to run in the Derby without full tackle.  A man-made regulation in Racing.
There should be one about starting.  If a horse can’t behave in them without a hood it should be excluded from racing.
The misbehaviour of a horse at the stalls can, and often very much does, affect the performance of others.
