be careful mate.... U will leave yourself open to question from the Jockey Protectors... Yeah the ride was a shocker ( I said much the same in the other thread) But it seems, that according to some, it is ok for professionals to turn in amatuerish performaces,, and we are sposed to forgive them... Not me.. I am a professional in what I do, and if I make an error i certainly am not forgiven.. The 2 bad rides on Saturday were dished up by allegedly the best in the business... Both rides were rubbish.. Had apprentices dished up rides like that, they probably would have had to front stewards to explain their tactics, or in QOTH case the lack of tactics.. At the very least they would have been muckking out a few more stables than usual...
Be a while before the bloke who rode Headturner gets my cash in Melbourne again... I guess the trainer of a couple of runners in the Melbourne Cup feels much the same.. Childs on Railings the other bloke on Dizelle.. one at 9/2 the other at 33's.. say's a lot i think.. considering Dizelle's rider rode Railings the 4 starts before the CC win... that trainer knows his jockeys... |
