A new initiative jockeys are to have their names on their backsides on Nunthorpe day, why is that an initiative, I had to check it wasn’t April 1st. What collective group of idiots came up with this or am I missing something.
The more I know the less I understand.
Probably the same idiots who think the winning horse needs to be accompanied by some “pop music” on their way to the unsaddling enclosure.
If Joe Fanning farts in his breeches, then his surname suggests he’ll have the stink under control.
If this catches on, we’ll have to hope one leading Californian jockey never comes to ride over here.
He’s called Flavien Prat.
It was done pretty ad hoc William Buick’s was half hanging off in the winners enclosure.
The more I know the less I understand.
As soon as I heard there was going to be a Jockeys Cup prize this NH season I thought here we go again. Names of jockeys on the backside of breeches just when I thought it was safe to look after the Stobart name finally disappeared although some still wear them!
It’s bad enough sponsor logos on silks and advertising already on breeches and now this. What next? Big race numbers on the back of jockeys silks? As Basil might say, what is the point? Nobody can see them for most of the race on TV or at the course.
Why not go full Paddy Power and paint horses and clip them with advertisers names.
The whole thing just looks a mess. Racing doesn’t have to follow other sports where participants look like human billboards where very few could even care about some advertiser as there are so many.
Shame there isn’t a jockey called something like Postlethwaite!
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways
