Ghost of rob, I flagged this ride up on The Lincoln thread,clearly did not want to get a penalty for the main event shocking
I couldn’t go anywhere near anything Spencer rides. He gave one a very iffy ride at Southwell recently which even SSR’s presenters questioned after the race.
Finley Marsh on Silver Ghost, would surely have won if she hadn’t been given too much to do.
Think the jockey realised this passing the winning post as he continued riding and using his whip after it.It is easy for those who have never sat on a horse to be critical of jockeys. Horses are not machines and have a mind of their own. In my view the majority of jockeys are talented. Punters lose in the long term because bookmakers set the odds in their favour, not because jockeys are not up to it!

Well, then we shouldn’t be critical of politicians either. I never led a country, so I guess everything Donald trump is doing could be okay. I won’t be critical of him any longer.
Nor should judges be critical of doctors who are guilty of medical errors. They’ve never treated a single patient and yet they’re allowed to pass sentence at the end of a trial.Jockeys are no scientists and they make far too many mistakes, imo. Most of the times on races I haven’t had a bet on. So why not being critical of them? We do it dozens of times during a football match, why not once on a raceday?

Nonsense value31, why do Ballydoyle employ Ryan Moore and why did you follow him when he was apprentice?
There are good and bad rides all the time and this thread is called Bad Rides -lets call them.
The last race at Donny yesterday, the rider of the second beaten a short head, stopped riding inside the final furlong but the stewards took no action against the jockey.
And what was Sean Levey doing with his reins near the finish in the London Gold Cup?
