Unfortunately, visiting this once great forum means having to read the utter shite posted by morons like you, hence my general absence in recent times. But I reserve the right to pop back and call it like it is occasionally. You’ll have to learn to live with it, I’m afraid.

Putting the word opinion in upper case doesn’t make you any less of an idiot, especially as you haven’t actually expressed a coherent opinion on this thread. Feel free to do so, by all means.

While this does seem to have descended into a squabble in the playground, I am still trying to work out the thrust of the argument given the evidence produced.
In the first instance you have provided a statistic which implies that Richard has been one of the top jockeys over the last 20 years (which is not necessarily my opinion). Saying he has never ridden 100 winners in a season proves as much as saying that Jason Weaver rode 200 winners in a season. Individual jockeys have different ambitions.
Then you use 2 rides in over 10,000 where he made a palpable error to support your premise that he is corrupt. From that are we to deduce that any jockey who drops his hands or makes a similar mistake is automatically corrupt? I know it is very bad when this happens, but it does happen and jockeys are punished when the rules are broken. What happens when a jockey eases his mount to reduce the winning margin in order to lessen the rise in his handicap mark; is that corrupt or a shrewd piece of horsemanship?
In the first example a dead-heat occurred. Now for a jockey to be able to engineer a dead-heat in a race would require him to be a far better judge than any horseman I’ve ever seen. Yet for the accusation of corruption to have foundation, someone would have had to have profited from having prior knowledge that a dead-heat was going to happen.
I am not wishing to defend any jockey who drops his hands and does not gain the best possible position but instances where the stewards are able to take action are down to palpable error. If a jockey wanted to deliberately fail to obtain the best possible position, it would be done in such a manner that the stewards have no way of knowing or proving what has happened.

It is up to you what you do but I would suggest ignoring the clique and not get involved in any slagging match because that’s what they want – it gives them a chance to feel superior for a few seconds.
As I said on another thread if you want opinions on jockeys and trainers have a read of the Betfair Forum and take from it what you want – it can be amusing and is not full of the pompous nonsense that blights this forum.
You know it’s a thread about
hands down
the greatest sportsman of all time, when the best the knockers can come up with from a quarter of a century is:
1) He set slow early fractions on a front runner
2) He finished first in a race at Newcastle- Total Posts 17716

. Your praise of the Betfair Forum tells us more about you than it does about TRF,
Stilvi
! I can only suggest that you confine your pocket-fluff postings to that esteemed outlet, rather than waste your sweetness on the desert air.
Have to agree with Pinza,if you’re complimenting the betfair forums and the discussion found there you really should take a good hard look at yourself, i’d say 95% of the jockey talk there is absolute nonsense!
Every 15 minutes there’s a new thread started about how such and such is useless because they didn’t get the horse up when it’s apparent to most of the rational world that the best horse won.
I used to frequent that forum but when i found Trf it was so refreshing to hear actual racing talk from horse racing fans and punters a lot of whom know a lot more about the game than myself in comparison to the betfair forums where every1 sounds like a 17 year old kid that just backs every favourite purely because the horse is the favourite and then blames the jock!
