I asked on the general ante post thread but I think it got buried. Definitely looks like he’s been benched again as Keith and Puppy have ridden Giggy horses for Gordon over Davy.

Was really glad last year I followed the Davy and Gordon trends, only for them to have their worst festival in forever haha

Great jockey
Evolution

Not sure when leading Jockey odds come out.....but Keith might be a silly price, specially if anyone goes EW......biased view, but pretty much guaranteed one winner with TR....always like a cheeky 100-1 shot

Keith on Delta Work tomorrow with davy on ADO :/ Must be gutting for Davy to lose all these top rides, i still think hes the best about on that side of the irish sea

[Kevloaf]

Isn't Keith really heavy (relative to other jockeys)???

Am I getting him confused

Your right I read on I think the first of his new blog pieces that he retired because he was too big and didn't get enough rides and Gordon Elliott talked him out of it.

I recall reading a piece that he wouldn’t be able to do the weight for the National so the cross country is his National (on tiger of course)

I also remember this

Negative having Keith on horses like Samcro?

Has winning the XC on him elevated his level?


Or is he just a stop gap until Jack is back, and they don't want to put Davy up to make it a tough decision?

Delta Work’s jockey was pretty poor today, letting the horse decide whether to go in short or not, he really messed up. Didn’t learn after the horse put in short and made a mistake, just keep on letting the horse do it again and again. Should be driving the horse into the fence and seeing a longer stride. Surely he won’t keep the ride after that.

Bit unfair on the jockey. Seen plenty of other jbig name jockeys struggle with strides and positioning on good horses.
He did well enough on samcro's first attempt, although the popping the last three wasn't really necessary.
He's worth a few more chances before the sack I'd think.
