    According to James Willoughby, he says the figures never lie and that he’s better than even Ryan Moore, and Lydia Hislop agreed.

    Frankly I find that laughable but does anyone agree with Willo?

    I don’t watch enough Flat racing to count myself experienced enough to debate with some of the experts on here, but I think GB is very good indeed.

    I mentioned last week on another thread that had he been 4 inches shorter, he might well have won on Al Kazeem. He’ll never be as effective in a finish as some of the top guys, due to his height. Remember, they called Lester the Long Fellow as he was unusually tall for a Flat jock; Baker is 4 inches taller than Lester was.
