I know people disagree a lot on who the best overall jockey.
Is but is it the same for amateurs and conditionals or is there a general agreement on whos the best in each category?

Gary Carroll clearly is a exceptional Jockey and Coolmore will certainly come knocking for him one day.
Cawley? is he still 3lb.
He is pretty tidy
He is pretty tidy
this paul gallagher can certainly ride a horse
based in scotland/northern tracks
worth following imo

Gallagher is with Ferdy i think,good jock
j j gerrard a ten pound claimer with tim vaughan recently rode his first winner over jumps . just eighteen , he looks a bright prospect
Squeaky Cawley for me over the jumps.
Gary Carroll, Danny Mullins, Martin Harley, lots of future champions on the flat.

Out for most of 2009 with a bad back injury.
He came back late last season but it was still at him.
Haven't seen his name against any runners in 2010 yet.
Hope that injury has cleared up for him.

Keep an eye an Trevor Whelan.Quality young conditional riding in England.
Watch for Daniel Benson riding for Ger Lyons from mid summer,cracking good pilot coming from the pony racing scene.
soap thanks for enlightening me re:MARTIN HARLEY hope the young lad is well and returns etc good job your on this forum so you can keep me informed when i dont hear the unfortunate circumstances reguarding some other jockey that i dont hear about ;)
ok folks i am going to give you some real gold dust.
you probably would agree with the view that nina carberry is the best lady rider most of us have ever seen. well the 2nd best is about to launch herself on the flat in ireland this summer.
a girl from kerry called kate o brien. she has ridden in the region of 100 flapping winners in the past 4 or 5 years and she is now turning her attention to the real stuff. this girl has a brilliant sit on a horse and a balance comparably to the carberrys(nina and paul). she is a fantastic judge of pace and certain to rob races from the front, akin to the great cauthen of a previous era.
kate is studying in one of the munster unis at the moment, she rides out during the week for tom hogan and has decided to serve her apprenticeship with the nenagh trainer. one would imagine her opportunities with be limited initially given her munster base, but by the autumn expect her to be in big demand. when she gets accustomed to the different tracks, you can virtually consider her 10 or 7 lb claim to be a reduction in the horses rating for the given day. on her flapping peformances kate was on a par to danny mullins and eric mc and miles better than harley.
expect a slow start to her career and things to gradually pick up, i would be willing to wager an even monkey that this girl will record a level stakes to sp profit in her first 100 rides.
