Default Greg Ryan Today

A few days ago I wrote:

His next outing is on Sunday at Cowra as best as I can see
Race 1/7 is probably a good thing probably odds on
Race 2/5 should be at decent odds, but wait n see
Race 3/2 has a good chance ran 2nd last 3 starts (imagine the price on this one)
Race 4/1 Will be short.. last start winner
Race 5 NO ride ... YET
Race 6/2 should be any price
Race 7/4 should be any price


The reults are as follows

His next outing is on Sunday at Cowra as best as I can see
Race 1/7 is probably a good thing probably odds on Fav ran 2nd was value
Race 2/5 should be at decent odds, but wait n see ran 2nd SP $3.4
Race 3/2 has a good chance ran 2nd last 3 starts (imagine the price on this one) yep... won at $1.6
Race 4/1 Will be short.. last start winner FAV at 2.5 WON
Race 5 /15 Started at 100's but manged to run 3rd and paid a miserly 5.3
Race 6/2 should be any price ran 3rd SP 4.2 2nd Fav
Race 7/4 should be any price Scratched

Today he rode 2 winners from 6 sits (great SR, Crap return) for a return of 4.1 (NSW TAB) BUTTT how pathetic is the place return on a horse starting at 95$.. 5.30.. Gimme a break... You could make great money on G Ryan a couple of years ago, but sadly, everyone knows about him these days as evidenced below

The horses below all started at shorter win quotes than Ryan's ride in Race 5, yet, all had larger place dividends.. If not for Ryan's Univeral appeal.. then why? This is what I mean.. he is the BEST jock around, but value is hard to find with himthese days. Eveyone is a wake up.. even when he rides 100/1 shots

Cowra Race 5 (CR)
