    I feel sorry for anyone who backed her the jockey did everything he possibly could to not win
    The worst thing about it was he looked like he was trying to win.

      • If I was William Buick, I’d be seriously considering a legal case against Murphy for robbing him unfairly of that title! Whilst it’s impossible to quantify & I’m not sticking the boot into OM, the findings today & that ban just should not enable him to keep that title as he’s effectively cheated in order to even ride & win it!

          Who would want a title in those circumstances, I can not see any merit in runners-up being award prizes, it's not as though there is a lack of prestige for Buick.

            So he popped over to a couple of Countries & decided to take no notice of the stupid rules, like quite a few other prominent people. As for the drinking, cant see that being a positive for winning a race. No way Buick would want the title based on that nonsense.

              No, my point being he should have been banned for a number of days / wks in the season & as such probably wouldn’t have ridden as many winners. Like a few have said though, what does the flat jockeys title actually mean anyway. Buick has the better job & career so I’m sure he just shrugs & moves on

                      • Anyone on here admit to using Proform, or having used it?

                        I've thought about getting it previously and just looking for honest opinions as to whether it's worth the outlay or not?
