Can see how it will divide opinion and undoubtedly travelled really well. Lost a few lengths at a vital time, where he looked to get a bit outpaced or didnt quicken like he thought it would. imo however he rode it after that, the horse was never going to win. Plenty reason for the drift, the front 2 really well backed and in the end the winner has done it well enough. Looked a decent little heat and you would think it should win a race.
Probably would want the ride back again but not bent or stopped imho. |

nothing to see...5/2-9/1
|
|
By:
point out next time a horse drifts 5/2 - 9/1 then jockey doesnt move from 4 out.
|
|
By:
Plenty drifters win,the most over used phrase on the forum, "the drift told the story" only my opinion, plenty will disagree.
|
|
By:
Seen it a hundred times, non trier today, that will win next time, will when the money is down, is a stone ahead of the handicapper. Still waiting on 95% of them to win.

This post was about what the jockey did, but usual posters try to ignore that on here....

By:
I have watched his three rides on Long Draw this season.
Clearly being ridden to get a few pounds off for March. |

By:
it wasnt there to win today end of..and the layers knew.

By:
and where would have finished without his 7lb in hand for nothing on every horse he rides,basically any loser he rides has to find 7lb if he,s not riding it ,in its next race

how menni winners he rode sitting rigid from 4 out please?
|

By:
Not much Christmas Spirit here this week with both Sean and Harry getting pelters, the best 2 in the country by a country mile, theres been at least half a dozen this season that would have won under no other jockey, the guys a different level, just needs to tweak his Cheltenham stats where Harry has him on toast.

its not compulsory to come from another county , its within the rules to ride them closer to the pace

Throwing kitched sink at them when money's down, and he gets his fans all giddy... |

how many top Irish jocks riding fancied horse spend most of the race talking to the ambulance driver and win after going big odds in running
|

By:
its as ran sid as ive ever known...multiple times daily.
|
|
By:
Best horse won, Bowens got out paced home bend to second last, winner still getting away from him over last, Bowens has attempted to pick up a tiring 2nd near the line, Sean settled it beautifully as it was up in trip and would have been mindful of going after it too early in case it not get home, gets a mark in the 90s fill ya boots.

if wanted it was 1.01 to be placed.
|
|
By:
It was not ridden to obtain its best possible placing,that was blatantly obvious,and im a big Bowen fan but today he was riding to instructions. Drift told the story sadly.
|
|
By:
"it wasnt there to win today end of..and the layers knew." Backers didn't though...thought it went very short even though jock was motionless....prob becos he was motionless..if all action sean isn't moving it must be p1ssing up

How much did you win Rico? Surely you cleaned up!!!
|
|
By:
Or maybe it was ridden to gain the best possible outcome, if they thought it may be a non stayer, was a learning outing obv and not the day to get involved, if they all ran to full merit every race you would have a country full of poorly handicapped animals, they want them right twice a season, the runs between present opportunity to competitively handicap your horse, connections pay the bills, Sean still the best we have.

why would i lay something ridden by bowen thats on the snaff?
|
|
By:
You have to laugh. Bowen is our hero and there must be a good reason he didn’t ride one properly. I didn’t hear the same sympathy for young Kitts a few weeks back.

Don`t need to watch the race , all jockies work for someone , and it is not us punters . They are told to cheat by the people that pay their wages full stop!
They are riding to orders 99% of the time in situations like this! They do deserve the flack because they are cheating punters and killing the sport! Which is now mostly just a business. Paid assassins , they do the dirty work in races like this , but under orders to do so imo . Why ride this way if not ? we all know he is better than this ! |

By:
Most jockeys are the same and will win when they want to win and all good jockeys when they win.I do not know what the stewards look at half the time.
|

By:
seen 3 rides last 2 weeks that all deserved a ban...not one seen or menchunned by the clowns that run this million dollar sport.
|

By:
Yes makes you wonder why you bet and should just go to watch them like I do at the horse trials.I have been to the races and never had a bet before.
