    He’s one of the worst jockeys I’ve ever seen in my life to call themselves a professional. Shouldn’t be anywhere near a top class animal. Every single fence is life and death with him onboard.

    WD winners and a powerhouse finish from Bowen again.

    He was one of my biggest fancies at the festival and was on at large odds in the NH chase. Why couldn’t they have tried the headgear then lol.

    “He’s one of the worst jockeys I’ve ever seen in my life to call themselves a professional. Shouldn’t be anywhere near a top class animal. Every single fence is life and death with him onboard.”

    Watch his last 2 rides on Jagwar and tell me what you think. It’s easy to criticise when something goes wrong but when it goes right the criticiser either stays quiet or calls the ride a lucky one. Similar targeting happens in football as well with a fan against a player.
    He’s not the best jockey but I’ve seen worse/less experienced jockeys than him riding.

    Mike,

    I haven’t intentionally backed a horse ridden by him this season he’s that bad imo. I’m not criticising him for one bad experience. I think he’s so bad in general that he shouldn’t be riding top class horses at all.
    He looks chancy approaching every fence and holds far too much in general approaching obstacles as he appears to be terrified of falling.

    For every 2 Jagawar wins there’s probably about 30 subpar rides.

    Impressive at the home straight, nice way to end the season for Bowen.
