He was a bit unbalanced.

Should get 15 years for that imo.

'He got a great first ride around' according to the clown.

By:
It wasn't pretty in the straight. Probably got the horse beaten, but I suppose we all have to learn somewhere.
|

By:
At first glance I thought it was Nico.
|
|
By:
Probably not a good idea to put him up on a favourite first ride.
|
|
By:
Got unbalanced but was simply outstayed.
Backing an Amateur having their first ride has rarely been the pathway to riches |

By:
You only positive you can take is he got it round but looks like DEI has finally found its way into the weighting room
|

By:
Is he one of the Goodwood March's anyone know. Hezekiah a landed gentry sort of name??
|
|
By:
Comes from Brixton.

What a Christian name to be lumbered with
 |
|
By:
You can see he's learned how to ride from Rodeo Jamie
|
|
By:
Shame he weren't taught by the armchair jocks on here.
|
|
By:
He works for Gary

I don't often defend jockeys if they have a poor ride, but anyone moaning after backing someone riding first time in a jumps race really needs to take a look at themselves for choosing that bet - what do you expect AP McCoy?
|
|
By:
A reasonable comment,stu.
It makes you wonder if some actually look to see who is riding |
|
By:
Knew I seen him somewhere before

Indeed irons, but also seems people forget there's also a lay button against a short priced one like this too.

By:
Queen Camilla was there to see his first ride
|
|
By:
Could have been there to see Charlies first ride as well.
|

By:
You could see his like at Cheltenham tbh……maybe winning a race.

At first glance I thought it was Nico That’s not nice now…… |
|
By:
It would appear that Aceform is not the only clueless cretin on here
|
|
By:
The person in question could possibly be responsible for CH hitting the deck imv……best to avoid Cheltenham unless they get a top horseman and watch it win on the bit…..
He did admit to almost decking it once before remember….. |

Charles got beaten into second place in a charity race at Plumpton by....................................Derek Thompson, riding I think for Nicky Henderson.

Big Ears certainly did,blackbarn.

I owned a share in the winner of the Plumpton race. Classified trained by NH.

sorry. Can't work out how to turn it round! I was working in the desert in the west of the UAE. Didn't get told it was running. First I knew was when I saw the front page of the Times 2 days later showing this photo. 33/1. Not a penny on

By:
That run well in The National,Classified.

Donegal sounds as though the horse was well named

I owned a share in the winner of the Plumpton race. Classified trained by NH. Classified was nearly top class...a very good horse....well touted for the national if memory is still in place. |

As I recall, he ran 3rd, 4th and 5th in the GN. Sadly I had to sell him b4 then. Ran 2nd to The Brockshee in the Arkle. When he won 1st time out at Newbury he was, once again, 33/1. Steve S-E's dad had so much on he bought a new car (I spoke to SSE many years later and he confirmed it). Sadly I was impecunious at the time studying, yet again, to improve myself so had buttons on. Still, the qualifications worked out in the end! But............nowadays...you own a horse and it wins it's first 2 races @ 33/1! Ended up being a great 2m at Sandown etc. But a great horse. Wish my present purchases were as good.
