If that is him in a drive then he is either riding with an injury or he has gone at the game.

No way he can maintain being main jock at Hendos if that is all he has in the tank.

That was absolutely desperate. Even he knew he was on a far superior horse. He thought he'd just jump the last and it would quicken up and he would't need to do anything.He didn't even try after the last. One of the most pathetic rides I've ever seen.

How can anyone defend Nico? He has one of the Top 3 stable jockey jobs in England. Are you telling me that is an ELITE jockey?!

was a good conditional turned a fair pro
but age & injury catch up with them all in the end just nice horses mask the decline

The individual will probably win the King George on Boxing Day and once again become the new Risen……mind you most riders would win on the horse tbh….

Inept or corrupt ride? Sadly, given the massive drift on here immediately prior to the Off, it has to be the latter. Some connected Faces knew and profited accordingly! Come racing and get mugged!

Pretty obvious he thought he could win without needing to try too hard. Unfortunately it bungled the last and he was up against Cobden.

not convinced it was intentional to be beaten a few inches..looked like he thought could win when he liked.

I would suggest that whether it won or lost was of no consequence to the loveable JP but o suggest that it was stopped puts you in the same class as Newmarket Sausage,Ihal.

I suppose it depends if you new it was going to be ridden to win with the least amount of effort/given a nice introduction,would you be prepared to lay it at 1 to 3,betting suggests enough did

So many apologists infest this forum, any one of you 'Wise Men' offer possible explanation as to the pre-race drift! Done my Dinghy Boy £47 this week! Worried about funds for KG Boxing Day, might have to start delivering grub again!

punters thought that 1/3 was too short. not many of us back horses at 1/3. Also SHOTGUN SHIRLEY went from 9/1 to 9/2,a big influence on the fav drifting. Nico is some jockey if he can chuck a race and only lose a short head. You should be praising his horsemanship if you really believe that.
