Just pointed out Jamie Goldstein, clearly not making any effort on Sheens West’s Moonwolf in the Fontwell opener.
Shocking, talk of the press room aswell.

I look forward to the hard-hitting no-nonsence reports tomorrow then.

That will be interesting – let’s hope he puts a little more effort in to the interview than he did the ride.
I backed the winner so not complaining having lost money but that was definitely a non-trier in my opinion.
I backed the horse and I’m glad I’m not the only one who was dismayed by the ride.
Can someone relay what was said on ATR? Cheers.

He said something along the lines of being a horse you have to nurse/ease into the race, load of cobblers.
Cheers, Matthew.
You have to factor in the distance drop, which saved me from going loop the loop, but even so…you’d struggle to defend the ride under best possible placing rules and I’ll be very careful about backing a horse from that yard again.

Surely a horse that has already won over a testing 2m 4f should be ridden more prominently when dropped in trip? Indeed, Moonwolf was in front two-out on his last outing at Fontwell and stayed on well enough to score by three quarters of a length; no nursing required.
Jamie Goldstein did not make sufficient effort – let’s be honest, he made no effort – to make the horse competitive and therefore has to be considered a non-trier; the fact that the stewards again swallowed whatever nonsense they were fed is frightening.
