Not a big follower of flat racing and I don’t know the quality of horse Shoemark has ridden but how many consecutive losing rides has he ridden at Royal Ascot?
Just a quick correction on the above;
1st Skelton 61 points £172,952
2nd Murphy 49 points £128,442
3rd Owen 42 points £121,237
4th Bowen 40 points £115,249
5th Nicholls 33 points £81,216
6th Henderson 33 points £73,993
7th O’Brien 31 points £87,615
8th Snowden 30 points £77,749
9th King 23 points £81,411
10th Lacey 23 points £46,928Tom Lacey would only be 18th in the prize money table.
One of the reasons I’m doing this alternative table is to ensure differing prize money at different courses for the same Class of race is disregarded. A Class 5 race is a Class 5 whatever the prize money.
403 races in and a quiet week for the Skelton’s who were at the sales this week.

128 different winning trainers of which 68 have only had the one winner.
The 2nd option would pretty much guarantee Mullins winning the trainers title on prize money as Skelton uses the Summer jumps season to get a head-start.
Skelton has already picked up 139K in the first month of the new season and there has only been one Class 1 race during that period.
257 races into the new season and the table stands as follows as Skelton didn’t have a single winner in the last 7 days

King 14 points (4 wins)First Irish trained winner last week. And 95 winning trainers so far.
The jockey awarded the race hits his horse twice with the whip, drops it and then proceeds to hit his horse 12 times on the neck with the palm of his hand.
Perhaps someone can explain to me how hitting the horse with whip & hand 14 times wins you the race?!!
117 races into the new season. 47 Class 5 races. 55 Class 4. 10 Class 3. 4 Class 2. 1 Class 1. 69 different winning trainers.
Top of the table
Skelton 31 points
Henderson 14 points
Murphy 12 points
Bowen 11 points
King 11 pointsI would counter by saying you don’t see many horses barely blowing after 4 miles and looking as though he was ready to go another few miles after the line. I’ve raced watched for over 45 years and you don’t see many horses demolish a large field over that distance without breaking sweat and taking the long way round to boot. It wasn’t that he won, but the ease that he won by that pricked my attention.
The form booked showed tried twice over hurdles at 3 miles (suggesting he didn’t stay) and over fences had only been campaigned over 17 or 20 furlongs. Why did they step down in trip after his hurdle runs if they thought he was a long distance staying chaser in the making?
What I would say is it was a mighty big bushel that light was hiding behind when he he rocked up on Saturday.
Hearing a reference to F1 on the Nick Luck Daily gave the game away. Don’t try and copy a sport that bores many witless. What next 54 lap horse races and a starting grid?!
Perhaps it’s because horse racing in some other jurisdictions across the World has become so bland & boring they think this would somehow make it more interesting?
Wasn’t he the Danka man when they started putting the God awful logo’s on jockey silks something that thankfully hasn’t worked its way to Ireland or France.
