Whenever I think about the best jockeys I’ve watched under either code, more often than not it is the “ irons out of the fire “ rides which tip the balance for certain jockeys; AP is often heralded for the Wichita Lineman ride but Geraghty on Riverside Theatre was equally as impressive to me, given that it was over a shorter distance. Fallon rode umpteen classic winners but the amount of time he persevered when on
So as much as I appreciate Nico De Boinville in the best races, his record elsewhere seems mediocre in comparison to his peers – whether it be outside rides at minor tracks or handicap rides for Henderson.
