One of the few jump jockey`s with a brain ! Most just ,,,,,, he`s winning races while other jockeys are half asleep or clueless of pace and positioning . One of the best for a long time when he`s at it .
No idea what the stats are....but ever since Harry Cobden signed for JP, he doesn't to be riding with his usual confidence and competence...which makes the mid-season announcement of his appointment all the more perplexing.

I am beginning to think he's the best I've seen and I can just about remember Fred Winter and certainly Gifford and Biddlecombe and all the others since. There is obviously an argument for McCoy in particular but I would now plump for Bowen.

Cant have that Salmon. In the era of Walsh, Geraghty etc there were several a lot better. Dunwoody previously. Even now Townend is still the top man riding imop.

Like most half decent jocks he's binary - either on, or off. You just have to hope he's not giving a tailed off, never nearer types that he often does, as well as his winning ones.
