"Very genuine, kept going"

Clearly talking about the horse and not the jockey.

That finish was like a flashback to It's A Knockout

be nice to think he backed humble spark as well

Personally wouldn't crab him for that...he's probably lookin at an  six to eight inch screen in standard defintion while we can view it on a 50 inch high def tv

Dave Nevison was on Humble and usually a comment by him after race
Not a peep

"Female Amateur Riders" should have been a clue

Clearly neither pundit at York would criticise the ride given to the winner by Karl Burke's secretary's daughter. A cosy, closed shop industry tactic.

Not the best ride its fair to say. The horse won despite of the jockey, not because of her.

wasn't that close on photo though, and he thought the inside had won easily enough to call it,so in effect he was miles/ nearly half a  length out

Post your photo bet,1st timer

Absolutely but still not great even for that level.

Were you expecting Hollie Doyle,SS?

road to the poor house betting against RATPACK on those close finishes at York,calls them/that angle  better than most in real time,he thought the outside had gone very close there

I think the jockey doing her best Barzalona Pour Moi impression for the last half furlong answers that one.

I couldnt work out whether she had mistaken the finishing post, was exhausted herself or jyst isnt very good. Despite winning!!

It was her sixth ride in public,SS.

absolutely knackered would be my guess. it could be argued that she outmanoeuvred the runner up, but obviously agricultural style and gasping by the line. also got herself tangled in the reins briefly.

In running I was thinking, this jockey is to far off the pace..... or knows something, came down the outside etc etc. Karl said she did not ride to orders, I wonder. Agricultural ride, won though, and no I did not back in running.

Im just calling it for the ride that it was.

Nothing personal against the rider herself.
