JP O'Brien (3)

Being as tall as Peter Crouch can't be helping either...

I did say 3 months ago i think we have seen the last of him on the flat but i was wrong, but it wont be for too much longer, i think daddy might buy an Istabraq type horse too keep him busy. Galway Hurdles or Bumpers for JP.

Richie Forristal had an article on this in the Indo today. In it he said Joseph has ridden 9 times this season carrying overweight winning twice. He said this is not fair on punters.

My own view for what it's worth is that if this was any other apprentice the stewards would be much tougher. One would think that Halley or the new Doctor would be recommending to the Stewards that Joseph not be allowed to take any rides at less than 9 3 as I think it is 9 stone that he is going to scale at the moment.

This has to be his last season riding on the flat. Great experience on the flat can make him into a great NH Jockey..Don't be suprised if A P O' Brien stocks up his yard with NH Horses. Dual licensed trainer ;)

its not daddys yard to stack up tho

Don't be suprised if A P O' Brien stocks up his yard with NH Horses. Dual licensed trainer[smiley:crazy], i dont think so...

This is nepotism at its worst. The stewards ought to take some decisive action.

aob is entitled to do what he likes. ted walsh, nigel twiston davies, colin tizzard, etc etc do the same, theres nothing wrong with itin the slightest. if gary moore has the choice of 2 jocks, say ryan moore and micky fenton for a valuable race, whats he going to do...?

Well, If I had the choice between Johnny Murtagh and Joe O Brien I know who I would choose. Aidan O Brien, last season consistently favoured his son ahead of a Champion jockey. Thats not very clever in my book.

Carrying overweight 9 times this early into the season is a complete joke.

gotchee id choose johnny aswell but sayin that whether aob puts up his son on horses r not hasnt got a thing t do with the stewards...

I agree in saying its not daddys yard to be stacking NH horses in but what about a move to his own yard

John CullenSuspended Three day ban for riding overweight at Cheltenham 29th Mar 2011 to 31st Mar 2011.

I know its not his ..I'M Tellin ya revedesivola Yeats will come back into training an win a Gold Cup, Fame and Glory will win the Triumph Hurdle next year [;)] WTS
