Possibly the worst jockey ever His riding was abysmal and I don’t know why he’s an expert on At The Races, the worst for British and Irish Racing

“As I’ve often pointed out, Kauto Star is a rotten jumper.”
AJ Martin:
“To be sure, after he won his maiden hurdle by 20 lengths on his debut I realised he was a bit special, so I’ve mapped out an ambitious campaign culminating in the Royal & Sun Alliance at Cheltenham. I’m hoping he can go through the season unbeaten.”
Coolmore:
“We’ve decided to limit all our stallions to 50 mares each per season.”
And since the thread is actually called Things you’ll Never See in Racing…

September 4, 2007 at 17:57 #113608"Yeah, after he ran promising on his debut at brighton, himself and the brother knew this fellow could do a job and the whole gang backed him at twenties antepost. It will be a big night in the dubai dog and duck tonight"

I think the press might be overhyping this horse and I dont think he is as good as some of our previous stars.

September 5, 2007 at 16:54 #113687a jockey tagged by magistrates ?
http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news … ag_him.php
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
An alcoholic jockey has begged magistrates not to tag him – because he would not be able to get his riding boots on to compete in races.……Mrs Fairclough said although it was apparent Miles was suffering from alcohol problems, he still needed to be punished.
After agreeing not to make Miles wear a tag, magistrates gave him a 12-month community order.
