Not sure if he’ll be free to ride but Barry Geraghty has always been a good sub for Nicholls
A poll worthy of the Betfair Forum
Nice one Cormack
I like your new signature, Drone. I’ll claim to be the inspiration.
Land Ho!
Sam Thomas should get the ride because simply he did not deserve to be jocked off in the first place.
Loyalty is a fickle word in racing,i have £30 on Sam at 7/1 to ride Denman and so he should as i have said for the last year!
Unfortunately now if they dare jock off McCoy,who"s record is 2nd to none,it would seriously undermine AP as a "horseman" but it would also slap the face of credibility in connections decisions! Today was a car crash for credibility!Unfortunately now if they dare jock off McCoy,who"s record is 2nd to none
except at recent Cheltenham Festivals, where he’s second to pretty much everyone?
If they were too stubborn to stick with Sam Thomas, then they should have been straight on the phone to Barry Geraghty.

…Not on Denman it isn’t…. on him it’s last of four
it would seriously undermine AP as a "horseman"
and what did their first decision do to Sam?
but it would also slap the face of credibility in connections decisions!
Surely all "credibility in (those) connections decisions" was lost in the vision of Denman running loose while McCoy sat on his ar*e on the turf.
I hate so say "I told you so"…but I did…. although I get less than zero satisfaction from being right on this occasion. Although the owners got exactly what they desreved
Today was a car crash for credibility!
And some

Yep GH , you’re my back Door man
You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans

Than any man ever seen
I’m a back door man
The men don’t know
But the little girls understand
Sam McCoy may be a better jockey than Jim Morrison but neither is as good as Willie Dixon, who however is not so good as Tony Thomas, but – it goes without saying – only at Arapahoe not Louisiana
people are strange

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve become Geraghty’s biggest fan this year. He has that ability that Ruby has to make horses run for him. None of which has to do with style, or technique, it just seems to happen.
Diamond Harry confirmed that for me today.
I’ve had a sizeable bet on the Kauto Star / Imperial Commander forecast in the GC. Therefore I voted that McCoy should ride Denman.
I would choke on my sunday muesli were I to learn that Messrs Findlay and Barber had decided that Anthony Peter McCoy has ridden and fallen off Denman for the first and last time.
He WILL keep the ride – unless AP decides to give it up. More chance of that happening than Tiger Woods suddenly finding celibacy more appealing than, er… golf.

Five to one, Drone, one in five.
No-one gets out the Champion Hurdle thread alive.
Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to playAll this stuff about judging a jockey on one ride, whether it’s AP, BG or anyone else is just silly.
BG rode Diamond Harry well. But that is just daft to judge him on; as it would be for judging him on failing to get Spirit River to jump in the Totesport Trophy.
AP came off Denman and is castigated for it, yet won the Totesport Trophy, surviving a blunder at the last where many jockeys would’ve fallen off.

I don’t believe Denman has a hope in hell of beating a fully-fit Kauto and never have, but if I owned him I’d be wondering what Timmy Murphy was doing on Gold Cup day.
I’d be wondering if he’d win over the Ryanair trip
The day AP gets jocked off there will be a blue moon in the sky.
