comparing Dittman and Beadman is a no contest.

Mick proved to be a champion hoop in 3 states,and his ability to position his mount in the run and his strength in a close finish were phenomenal.

Darren is reluctant to venture out of Sydney.

Don't get me wrong,I think he is a very good rider,but I wonder where he be if his association with the Hawkes camp was severed?

It was only a few years ago that the dodgy bros.(jim & larry)were riding high for top stables.Where are they now?

CP,

Beadman admitted to jockey "error"on that ride mentioned,and he didn't sit 5 wide.If that is your criterion for jockey error have another think.

Hawkes was so filthy on that ride he wouldn't even talk to him after the race.
