How about post-race lie detector tests for jockeys?<br>

How about pre-race lie detector tests for trainers?

Quote: from Seagull on 8:06 am on Feb. 17, 2007[br]There is one possible positive to come out of all this that is for Sir Michael Stoute to stop dithering and to offer the job of stable jockey to RYAN MOORE.

<br>

<br>They would suit each other, neither has a sense of humour. Good Jockey that Moore is, he is dull as dish water

[Seagull]

Madman Marz<br>There is more to being a good jockey than <br>(1) flying dismounts<br>(2) lending your name to some Italian sauce<br>(3) kissing your bearded owner in the winning enclosure<br>(4) getting your name involved in video games<br>(5) spraying champagne over your trainer<br>(6) grabbing every chance to make a £1 by appearing on the likes of Question of Sport <br>(7) turning up at celebrity auctions<br>(8) letting your home be shown on tv programmes such as ‘Through The Keyhole’

Incidentally both current champion jockeys AP and Ryan may come across as dull and obsessed with just winning races but Ryan is no worse than Mick Kinnane or Ruby Walsh they just went to concentrate 100% on their chosen profession.

At least you know you are getting ‘what it says in the tin'<br>Champion Jockey

Seagull,

I would agree that a Dettori clone would be just tooooooooooooo much!!!

But could you ask Ryan just to try practising smiling, it aint that difficult if I can manage it.:biggrin:

Quote: from class tells on 12:21 am on Feb. 17, 2007[br]the worst bit of jiggery pockery i saw was when ihad a 50£ bet on a horse at hamilton we had been following this stable owned by a local lad it was a sprint when the gates opened the jockey {not its usual} was holding on to the stalls for grim life the horse had to make up half a furlong  the horse finnished only lengths of the winner and the name of this animal LES ARCS<br>

I remember the race well, think it was the Scottish Stewards’ Cup, Spirit of France just got the better of my selection Fantasy Believer. For information purposes, Les Arcs was ridden by Tony Culhane that day.
