It won't be long before Ben Dalton is a top jock.
Surprised to see no mention for Tom Doyle esp from the front. Top 5 maybe not but Top 10 yes. I will give the 5 spot to A E Lynch simply because I believe he gets more spare winners than young Townend. |

Thats probably because Mullins has to vet all Townends outside rides soapp..

The diarrhoea incident can hardly have helped Loughran either and rightly so.

Mister T, said something about a skiing trip against dessie's wishes? for what i know it was cheltenham time and he was left with responsibility back in the yard, he ended up going on the beer, then on to the airport with a few lads including young roche and flying to spain. he got the sack seemingly but he got back in after a while. |

I believe Roger suffered an unfortunate case of the shi*s one day arriving on course when he discovered that the Turf Club were testing jockeys! |

A E Lynch 4 Robbie Power 2 Nina Carbery 2 David Casey 2 Brian Cooper 2 RP McNamara 2 Barry Cash 1 Nial Madden 1 Davey Condon 1 AJ Mcnamara 1 Looks between Townend and Lynch. Personally I would have Towenend over hurdles and Lynch for the chases. |

Davy Condon would probably be my number 3 after Ruby and Geraghty. Carberry can be briliant as can Russell but I often find it hard to catch the latter right. Agree Townend is given the ammunition but he rarely gets beat on one that should have won. Andrew Lynch deserves huge respect for taking the amount of rides he does. Plenty lads with the rides he has for de Bromhead would be dodging a lot of them. As far as actual riders go Tom Doyle wouldn't lace the boots of the top fella's but he does have a decent racing brain which compensates for this.
Adrian Heskin is a lovely rider but injuries look like they could unfortunately be a permanent fixture in his career. Robert Jones is good value for his claim. Theres loads of decent amateurs out there who would be well up to being top 10 riders if they went pro. Declan Lavery is a very tidy rider and hopefully he gets a few chances from Mullins this winter when theres double meetings. |
