What is Maxwell doing for a living? He surely must be a multi-millionaire in triple figures considering how easy he spends a quarter million on a single horse. I’m quite sure he has at least 25-30 horses in his ownership and quite a lot of them have been expensive purchases.
He breaks mirrors and walks under ladders on only fans

Think it’s best with cut otherwise I’d be interested.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I notice how Harry Cobden has been riding the Maxwell horses trained by Nicholls recently. He is riding another one at Kempton tomorrow.
Is Maxwell injured or has he called it a day?
Maybe it means they are trying to win now that the horse has been dropped 7lbs for those two Maxwell rides?
Nicholls column on Betfair confirms that David Maxwell is currently injured. Not sure how or where that happened as his last ride was at Sandown over hurdles and that one completed the course, although well beaten.
Mr Maxwell on Cat Tiger, 8/11 favourite, ran out in the last at Hereford.
I am not sure he could have stopped it but Mick Fitzgerald clearly thought he should have had his whip in the other hand.
I know he puts the money in and he is entitled to ride his own horses (it was a Hunter Chase). But anyone who takes odds on for one of his mounts is braver than me!
Fed up with this nonsense. We can choose not to bet on amateurs but can’t predict their effect on the race overall. Let them enjoy their hobby in the races sacrificed to indulge them and let professionals get on with their work.
Ouch, a bit harsh. The fav for the Greatwood did the same under Danny Mullins, and he was a known rouge that Danny should have been ready for (well he did try to stop him but he probably should have had the horse buried in the pack).
I don’t think Maxwell has ever fouled up and carried out anybody else or ridden so badly that he has caused horrendous interference that professionals would never be guilty of. I don’t mind the amateurs. I remember watching Double Silk in the National and my mum cheering him on.
I would agree it is harsh only because Fitzgerald is very reluctant to criticise a professional yet picked on an amateur – but that doesn’t make his basic point wrong.
As pointed out earlier, Maxwell rides winners and good luck to him. He puts money into the game and I am sure his trainers are grateful for his custom. But from a punters point of view, he is far too unreliable to bet on – especially at odds on. I don’t consider that unfair.
I meant harsh to want to ban amateurs from open races, not harsh to give David Maxwell the swerve when you’re placing a bet.
I guess it is for a good reason that lot of Hunters’ Chases are run as the last race on the card. Just don’t bother with them.
But look, you could follow Paul Townend during the current Irish NH season and despite his 40% strike rate you would still be losing about 25 points.
