Nice going HDLG, I reckon your horse would have won even if
Townend had managed to stay in the plate. Well done ![]()
I’ve mentioned this before and I’m very likely in the minority,
but I’ve never really liked Townend as a jockey.I know that may
sound kind of stupid considering he’s been leading jockey 7 times
and leading jockey at Cheltenham 5 times, but then he is the No.1
jockey for Willie Mullins and anyone who is the No.1 jockey for
Mullins is going to be the top jock in Ireland. No harm to the man
but that’s the way I see it. Mind you, I was never a big fan of McCoy
either. Maybe I’m just hard to please ![]()
