I have to admit, much as I have been disappointed with Beadman since his comeback, he has been riding exceptionally lately.

For the record, my top 5 jockeys are:

1 - D. Oliver
2 - P. Payne
3 - J. Sheehan
4 - J. Cassidy
5 - B. Prebble

I have no worries when backing these five jockeys, you know they will judge the pace better than most, and more importantly will know where to be (Eg The Pumper on Caulfield Cup day a couple of years back when he got home on Oliver Twist and Bonanova - try telling me he didnt know where the fast lane was...)
