7.30W Worst ride of the season candidate - Billy the Kid.

That was bad and by far the best horse.
It looked like it was checked coming around the final bend but too
far back regardless

Maybe thats as good as his horse is?
Did you watch its last run?

Cloone river... Did you watch the race. He was asleep at the wheel, got too far back, got checked and then had 20L to make up in the last two furlongs. Made up about 17 to finish a close third. Terrible ride.

Awful ride any decent jockey would have won on it
And luckily I did not bet on it
I know he his young but very over rated

Looked like the horse in front of him stopped quickly and forced Billy back.
Not sure you can blame the rider for that.

I'm with Newmarket on this one...
Yet to be convinced he's top class
Has some great rides, then gets beat on ones he shouldn't
Had one earlier where didn't push out for 2nd and got done. That's always bugged me over the years, a lot of the top jockeys don't ride out for a place if they can't win...
Dettori, Eddery, Carson all guilty

travelling well most of way..then badly hmp 3f out..chance gone..was it his fault like?

OK wazza?
Had no money on the race so view not clouded by financial...
People see races unfold differently, otherwise there'd be no in running betting

travelling well most of way..then badly hmp 3f out..chance gone..was it his fault like?

isn't he the one being paid to 'steer' it? So who else?

cant see what happened..but imo he's as good as anyone.

One of the pacemakers came back towards him, he switched one off the rail. The horse in front on the outside cut in, left him no room, he had to snatch up, lost momentum and places, switched wide and finished well.
I'm not sure he did that much wrong,maybe moved out earlier but imo he had decent pitch.

One of the pacemakers dropped back in his lap, he switched one off the rail coming into the bend. The horse on the outside in front of him cut in, that caused him to snatch up, losing momentum, many lengths and positions. Eventually he got out wide and finished well. He was in an okay position for the majority of the race. Would he want it back yes off course he would  was it a really terrible ride, imo no.

blimey must be the worst era of jocks ever if this lad is as good as anyone

Looked very unlucky to me.....Billy had plenty of time to get a pitch on the outside to ensure a clear run but continued up the inner....a combination of jockey error and pure bad luck with the amount of congestion he encountered.

Another young kid will probably come along shortly most likely connected to trainer or rider,Jack Callan will probably get snapped up…media get all excited…

I was amazed he actually persevered and got the place, Placepot players should be grateful. Even more stark watching the replay, the severity of the interference, plenty would have just eased off , not a jockey alive or dead would have won in the same saddle and circumstances.

As a general rule,any post by Newmarket Sausage should be viewed with suspicion.
This was no different.
The moron couldn't read Janet and John let alone a race.
Stu,you can only steer the one you are riding not the others

Apologies for the 2 posts, they both disappeared into cyber space last night and didn't appear till ages after posting

but too far back regardless

One of his mistakes yes Liam, in this specific ride.

BTW,any comment regarding Jockeys ability from Aceform can be safely ignored

a combination of jockey error and pure bad luck with the amount of congestion he encountered.

Fair summary dancing.

It happens and will continue to do so as they are not machines

I always take the opinion of David Elsworth tbh…..90 % horse,he liked to applaud the staff back home….

Walter Swinburn was another….we are mostly passengers on good horses…

Young Saffie most recently….the judging all takes place be before the furlong pole,knowing how fast they are going….

Horse snatched up no room unlucky,been happening since day one….

Luck in running…..bla…

im embarrassed by that stu..ive seens hundreds of horses hmp and no fault of the rider.

fckn pmsl..he was in 5th/6th 5L down 1/2 way.

Whatever, had no bet - if you think it was a good ride you're welcome to it (and him).

I still can not see where he did anything wrong.

He got squeezed up and had to take his horse back.

Stu,I think that you are getting confused here.
The O/P stated it was an awful ride but it wasn't.
It didn't go his way but nobody stated that it was a good ride.
Stop digging

Didn't go his way, what you on about - several others posted here agreeing jockey issues, just a couple who didn't.

Several posters always concern themselves only with defending any jockey ride on here, so I think it is they that are unduly concerned and dig constantly on here.

There was already a correctly balanced view above by Dancing, to include both some jockey blame and some luck. That is most correct IMO.

Sports people will always be called out tbf…..just look at football the players get hammered week in week out…..with personal stuff also…

Supporters DNA…..especially when the hard earned is down…..

Horse racing has the stigma for obvious reasons….

I do think young Billy is capable tho…..capable with a lot to learn….

Stu-Pid once blamed Cobden when a horse took off too early

Not sure what on earth you are on about now irons, but there's not much change there with you is there...

Form, it's like every cheerleader jockey - they get hyped, but are always inconsistent in reality.

Your obvious lack of knowledge perhaps?

Mind boggling how Cobden landed the JP job tbh…

Jockey wins a shd super duper…..beat a shd P

irons, you moan about posters who apparently have a long list of posters they moan about on here - but that is far better than you who has a long list of posters you moan about...if you hate this forum and all the posters here so much, why not just not bother reading it...

*long list of jockeys they moan about...

That alone shows Aceform's stupidity

I still wonder why you bother reading the posts then irons, as you are so obviously superior in knowledge to those posts?

You should try something else for a change, like lying down and deep breathing maybe.

where did i say it was a good ride ya fkn tatey.

Give it up,thicket.
You are out of your depth,Stu-pid

calm down dear

right I'll leave you to get back to pestering form on his thread, as your day job.

he was close up in midfield..for some reason got hmp and snatched up..if ewe think was a bad ride then crack on posting absolute shít.

I didn't post this thread Hugos, nor the other several posts on here, so take it up with them, I'm bored now.

Bored after getting battered

Battered? You are the only one who keeps needing to change the subject irons when he gets people agreeing against his view on posts..get back to formy he's missing you!

I am stating that you are a know nothing moron,stu-pid.
Not a change of subject

insults, yes good argument irons, as per...

you are so clever using names too.

Honest question, why do you read this forum, as you didn't answer before?

You are obsessive against most of the posts on here, but still continue to read them? Odd.

You are the utter moron that blamed Cobden when his mount took off two strides too early at Kempton,stu-pid.
You stated it was his job

So no answer then - can't or won't? (Guessing both)

cue insults as his clever words from irons...

For a "bored" person you seem to have plenty to say,stu-pid

cue insults as his clever words from irons...

1.01

I was bored of debating Hugos points, are you Hugo....

Bored

wasnt freddy tilicki being paid to steer?

Hugs, I've said what I will about this ride, plus there are many posts earlier from other posters agreeing if you read back, so just go back to those, won't say anymore on this specific ride.

For a bored person,stu-pid has plenty to say

And you're even more boring irons, at least hugo is posting about the topic most of the time, you might try it sometimes irons instead of your 'cut and paste insulting' you love on here...

I do however realise I am being sucked into one of the trolling posts you specialise in, so have a good night irons, and maybe even leave the forum for a while.

Bored??????
