Excuse me the horse did not hang. he may well ride for you reg, but that does not give you god given right to be correct in this instance.
The horse did not hang.
Yes I am pocket talking, I place layed so I am pocket talking,
I may have spelled incorrectly in previous post but you obviously can not read?
You are P Murphy.
No offence but I have always thought of you as one of the worst possible trainers out there so please excuse my ignorance if I ignore your opinions

He’s Alan Potts and he’s posted regularly on this forum for a few years. More to the point, he’s made a living from racing for 20-odd years and has forgotten more about the sport than most of us will ever learn.
Somebody really ought to take that gun away from you before you find you haven’t got any feet left.

Mick – if it was so easy why don’t you simply lay all of these truly dreadful jockeys?
I would suggest that the reason that you don’t win at betting and are unable to sustain betting 3 figures anymore has very little to do with poor jockeys and has more to do with poor knowledge of racing and inability to learn from mistakes. Jockeys are clearly a part of the equation but I would argue it is a much smaller part of the equation than you realise.
So here I sit, unable any longer to tell when a horse is hanging, employing one of the worst trainers in the country and an incompetent jockey. All those winners they’ve trained and ridden for me were obviously an illusion.
Clearly time to take heed of one of the great hidden intellects of the forum, sell my horses, cancel my writing contracts and give the game up.
Don’t give up ap, just lump on to micks1237649871239 max bets and follow us all on the path to riches beyond our wildest dreams. If one ever doesn’t win, blame the jockey. No point studying form, compiling speed figures, poring over stats, its as simple as that.

Which is something that you [ap] will have to do eventually, as I’m sure you aware. But, until either the bailiffs or the grim reaper comes calling then quite frankly what else are you going to do to make life interesting.
The best jockeys are always the ones who finish first on the horse you have just backed.
The worst ones ( invariably ) are the ones who lose on the horse you thought beforehand was a "certainty" to win that particular race.
Aren’t punters fickle ?
That said, how often do you see a riderless horse falling when jumping a fence ?

Most of the riderless ones don’t seem to bother much with the fences imo.
Having read this thread I’m not sure I should be promoting it to the top of the page but I would be interested in the views of those who have experience of such matters on the best jockey to use when ‘the money’s down’
