Matt Chapman fawning over Oisin

Perhaps ITV should have asked Implausible for an unbiased viewpoint

Calling him a genius vis the Picasso link!

Betfair we need a green puking face moji!

Piggott Eddery Kinane Dettori Fallon Murphy     All agree ?

Agree he's a good jockey, Howard, but the post race interview was embarrassing, even by Matt low standards

Our jockeys are sooooo good AOB has called in two riders from France.

Any decent jockey already has other commitments.

They’re all taken for a 7 runner Leger where he has 3 runners?

Must be very frustrating for any young jockey trying to break through, like any player that had that shatter Ashley Young picked to play ahead of him!

Well there's plenty of politics involved and we aren't just talking about one ride in a G1. It's far easier to get someone who has no commitments in the UK and not upset anyone.

Agreed Cider

Levey rides the dual Derby winner

The only time he’ll sit on a Derby horse!

I understand that Cider but even Juddmonte went abroad, bit of a pattern!

AOB just may know a tad more than Dela Dimwit

Levey already has connections with AOB and the team.

It's just obvious really that in the middle of the season all the top jockeys are tied into other arrangements. Yes they might be let off for one or two rides but they aren't going to jump over to AOB for two weeks and risk burning bridges forever.

How many British lads would even be in contention for a ride? Bare facts are there. Anyone would jump at the chance and any trainer or owner who didn’t allow it would be an asss.

Levy won the Leger last year one of the rare occasions when he’s come off best in a close finish! But his relationship was cut short. To me that says a lot (negatively) about him by going back.

Wanna talk draw bias again at the right race track with a field of more than 10 runners?

another interview

And they’re lucky that Barza has no racing at Longchamp ‘till Sunday. As it’s not like he or Soumi don’t have other commitments.

Do you ever find time to actually have a bet,Dela

Cringing maybe but the guy has never ridden better, imo.

He’s not and maybe the stuff that happened has done him some good and got him focused. He might even realise how lucky he was and is.

I’m not like Stewb who can’t miss a race, I’m selective where I put my pin like I am with my women!

I wouldn't think the women come back very often for your "pin"

Well said LH.

For all his faults and poor decision making, you can't argue with his riding ability

Any unfortunate woman that might come the way of the fantasist would need industrial strength ear defenders,Reg

Terrible ride on a suspect stayer there.

He is riding better than ever

Took keen hold, led, headed and weakened 2f out (trainer's rep said, regarding the poor form shown, that gelding was unsuited by making the running on this occasion, which was noted; vet had nothing to report) (op 15/8)


Apart from this moronic ride and on the suspect stayer Sunway

long term top jockey last 2 years in top 1%

whether he deserves 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th chance etc that's another matter

some geezers 1 mistake they're done

He has taken his chance with both hands,wonders.
Let's leave it at that

You’d be shocked at the number who want to feel the prickk again!

If there is a single person who is not in a Secure Unit that believes Dela I will be astounded.
It speaks volumes of his character that he felt the need to inform the Forum of his intentions of "Banging" a 27YO Blond.
A pitiful Walter Mitty bullshatter

Reg Butler. 14.59.    Dela, you do leave yourself open at times. 

I have a laugh! Reg beat irons to it  because he can’t get the thought of a 27 year old blonde and me out of his mind!

I’m just glad that you put an e on the end. 

I often mistype blind!

P.S.  Does anybody else feel that Murphy particularly excels in 5/6f sprints?  I’d love to know if any stats. exist about it.

I'm not a stats follower Honch but Flatstats site gives some info , if you scroll about 1/3rd down and click on generate report it'll break some distances , courses , regions etc down for you.

Ty.

...and he's off again

win in the leger would cap it

I hope he excels on Fantasy Beiever later on

good job Matt's not on ruk   no interviews with Lydia ?

Murphy can certainly live without Skydia
