Nah you are missing the point... this bloke is supposed to be one of the best and dished up rubbish like that... a 4kg claiming apprentice makes mistakes like that and you do accept it.. you take the risk by backing a kid.. this bloke is one of the best (allegedly) and you expect far better after you have put on your hard earned.... and the ride was rubbish.. I dont know what you do for a living but If I performed in my job the way that bloke did in his, I would be looking for a new job the next day...
AS I said earlier.. I feel for the poor ************s who backed the horse... ( I DID NOT, so the ride did not affect me) have a look through the archives here and tell me where I have had a dip at a jockey... U will be flat out finding too many examples. The ride was substandard and punters should be protected from rides like that.. ( from allegedly top riders) if they aren't then they have the right to say something was substandard... without being called naive...To say I am naive is not only insulting it is laughable... |
