Hi everyoneOriginally posted by Liverpoolchamp View Post
Been reading through this thread, I get the general consensus that, if Champ makes it to the line, Champ wins. And to be honest it's hard to disagree with that.. I'd like to criticise Barry but his chelt record speaks for itself.

Good or bad??

Good, just speaking as in general wins. Although from my point of view the other day there was no need to jump it so quick, I'd have rather he cautiously learnt and used his engine as he was so far ahead. Left me baffled to be honest.Comment

Geraghty looked around several times before the second last. To then come out and blame the horse for not concentrating is crass. Reminds me of the time he put Moscow Flyer on the floor in the Champion Chase because he failed to ready the horse for the fence.Comment

Good point that mate,forgot about that fall on Moscow flyer!Comment

He's an excellent jockey with a fine record but he did himself no favours this time.Comment

Having been one of Barry's biggest critics.
Apart from the looking through his legs stuff I was happy to see him give a novice a more attacking ride.
The horse just let him down by taking an extra step too close to the obstacle, The side on view showed this perfectly. He met it on a decent long stride but he took another skip step.Comment

I’d use past tense definitely.Originally posted by archie View Post
No longer top table and amazed he’s still retained
As for his record ffs look at the horses he’s been privileged to have ridden .
Wouldn’t put him in a current top 10 of jockeys , let alone all time greats.
Don’t blame him entirely for the fall as Champ isn’t fluid at his fences but Bazza is arrogant and lazy in my eyes and a contributory factor in the fall.
If this forum owned a horse I’d be interested to see what percentage of the members would choose to have him on board ?
I’ll start with my vote
Resounding yes ........you’ve guessed ....NO

Why doesn’t JP open the cheque book and retain Puppy? Amazing he spends all that money then won’t pay up for the best jockey which is tiny vs the cost of the horses and training feesComment

Choose him over who?
I'd rather have Bazza on board than Jacob in case the horse needed to find something off the bridle.
I'd also prefer Bazza top STD, but that's because STD looks like a little rag doll, or Woody from Toy Story, flailing around like a chump.
Barry bashing is the most boring thing to read about. High profile jockeys get crabbed the most.
I don't trust him though

If I’ve phrased the question badly i’ll Rephrase ......”.if you as an owner had the choice of jockeys would you be happy with Bazza”
Forget worse jockeys Kev
