I think it would be a good opportunity for Loughnane at this stage of his career.
It might not last long, but it would get him out of the sand pits and into riding in Pattern races.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"The lad is still learning , he doesn’t need scrutinised by a owner who let’s his belly rumble in public

Bad move imo there are lots he could swim with, but these sharks?
We are yet to know how these ‘fantastic’ results are achieved.
A setback for Billy. Let’s hope he learns his lesson:
Give him a chance to get some sun on his back , few beers in Magaluf and he’ll be good to go for the new season

That is what I would do too, HDLG. But after he rode a winner at Wolverhampton last night, he told SSR he would spend the time riding out and keeping himself fit. He is clearly dedicated!
It’s commendable but the lad isn’t going to learn much doing that , if I was his dad be telling him to get away for a break , this a big season upcoming

Great ride Billy..keep ’em coming.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...A real talent. I’d say a couple years and then a big job would be the optimum plan. No need to rush things. I certainly wouldn’t think AMO racing would be the job for him at this stage.
Glad he was riding winners instead of sat in the weighing room cuddling his claim.

Brilliant ride ftom Billy Loughnane cool as a cucumber when he dropped his reign as he was challenging.
Been following Soprano this year so over the moon with that win she deserved it.
As the sun sets on Frankie Dettori’s career an exciting new star is rising through the ranks he’s a natural, wish him well.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...“He’s a wonderful talent and one day I hope to make him champion”

Sounds a touch arrogant don’t you think!
Not really, quite likely to happen and hope I stay alive long enough to see it.

I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways“Humble pie I feel, for one or two on this thread”.
Sorry, only just picked up this comment.
I am not so sure. I don’t think anyone expressed any doubts about Billy Loughnane’s ability. He is clearly a special talent. That was obvious from the start, hence me starting up the thread.
The only issue was if he was going through his claim too quickly and wasting it on small all weather events when he could save it for bigger handicaps in the summer.
I think that was a legitimate concern at the time.
