Bob how strong are the UK riders that side? Collen Storey was arguably not even in the top 40 riders in SA, but seems to be doing really well overseas.
This horse was more like a 250/1 than a 125/1, and he brought it home, and seems to have a winner everytime I watch. Well done to him for taking the risk of moving that side, and reaping the rewards now.

Working in a stable shoveling shit would pay more than a low grade jock in South Africa... So always something to fall back on..

Jocks are on the whole pretty good, most serve there time properly, based in yards having to work and not riding every day to pay for their school fees

The weakest jockey in the UK is still miles better than any jockey in SA. All a bunch of head boppers

He is or was, sure as just a stable employee

Obrien has another special one

Two things stand out in that race

One you don’t need the whip and two Moore showed once again that he is the master rider

Agree that two things stand out in that race...

1 - An armchair ride on a impressive looking horse...

2 - Another win in a 5 horse field...

If you have 20 mounts in a week and you win a few races then you will definitely have a better return per ride than if you had 50 rides and also had a few winners. Compare apples with apples tnaicker.

Over a season there is no comparison

I don't disagree...just winding up the RM and AM fanboys...they are brilliant jockeys (I cannot and wouldn't want to do what they do)...seen some exceptional rides from both...in the end, they have earned the best mounts so do get some armchair rides...and they also get their share of rides wrong...just less so than most other jockeys...

Just one last word on LBB

It looks like he will win the 2000 gns next May ?
