No pocket talk from me.
He rides a hell of a lot of good horses and is a hood jockey overall.
This years ride made up for glenloe.
all jockeys have good and bad days.
They are an important part of the decision making process when betting. And should not be regarded as unquestionable.
There is no denying he can be a little careful on novice chasers. this can payoff in the long term, but can also ruin some horses confidence.
And he nearly killed champ and himself today by not looking where he was going.

That's fair enough Q. The way some talk you'd think he absolutely hopeless. No one is above criticism but it's always the poor rides that get brought up.
I always find relentless jockey bashing tiresome though. Ruby Walsh would get pelters and he is the best jockey I've seen. If Ruby got stick, then what hope for the rest.

Yep the criticism for falling off in full flight never sits right with me.
But I'll always sit up and take notice if it's a technical or attitude thing, to see if i agree or not.
We will all have our opinions on the skill sets of jockeys.
it can be just as annoying to see people leap to a jockeys defence as it is to be annoyed by criticism.
especially If you've formed your own opinion and aren't just being a mardy arse cos you've lost.
I don't vote, and it annoys me when people say that people died to get me the right to vote, as I'd say that surely gives me the same right to choose not to vote.
They seem to do that a lot in parliament anyway (abstaining when the gaffer tells them to)
You should earn the right to vote by proving you're not an idiot or bigot for a start.

Not sure where we debate this stuff tho....but saw Luck on Sunday and 2 of 3 main parties (not hard to guess which) have anti Racing stuff in manifesto....wanting to remove racing being able to manage itself.....with likely follow on.....end users of whip and then all know rest to come
Racing needs to fight back against these do-gooders and their politically correct nonsense.....none of them bother to try and understand the sport
