Well maybe going the early crow regarding his ability is not warranted either?
I questioned the logic of putting on a claimer, given her racing pattern the first time he rode Elite Belle and i posted those thoughts on here.
Great riding future if he keeps going the way he is going
I used to be a pretty quick bowler(or so I thought) back in the day....that was until they made me 1st change(with the shine off the new ball) and then I found out how quick i really was. Apprentices riding winners by using their claims to put their mounts up on the pace flatters their ability somewhat. Just my opinion. Elite Belle is a backmarker, so unless he uses his claim to settle somewhere closer than he did on wednesday, the 2kg is irrelevant. It won't make the mare sprint any quicker. When We Were Kings sprinted about the same last 600m when EB was 2nd up over 1400m-with 3.5kg more and they eyeballed each other in the run. EB was never going to win on wednesday from where she was once he(Parnham) took a sit at the back of the field. It was as good as over when they passed the finishing post the first time round.
Has the horse been successful with him riding? It takes an experienced jockey and a good judge of pace for a backmarker to win a race like last wednesday. Here the trainer is just as much at fault and you have to wonder how serious they were about winning? I notice Wolfe replaced SOD with McGruddy after the last ballsup on Mr. Utopia.
She's a saturday class horse.What was she doing running on Wednesday for $20k ? Even with the 2kg off her 59.5kg impost. I suppose you have to put a few races on for the bookies-and let's face it at $1.65 they would have "opened their shoulders"as Tom Waterhouse would say. Putting a senior jockey on would have been a smarter move. As I said if she sits back last the claim is useless, he needed to be rolling sooner than he was-she's sprinted quickly and peaked on her run.
Forget about his ride on Elite Belle.
If your not going to back horses because Chris Parnham is riding you`re going to miss a lot of winners.

I already have. I said good on him for riding a treble.
...Semi - if you take a line through K Yuill who was the last WA "up and coming " app....CP is a furlong ahead already
PS have a look at the ride of Alex Hern on Magnificent Pair ( great name - its out of Maewest !) in race 7 belmont on wednesday - rail at 15 metres - drew 15 - led and kept going with minimal whip - Now that is a good ride.

That may be so, but the other side of riding winners is you lose your claim and then you don't get the rides on the higher weighted horses and it's harder to ride them all from the front. You may disagree with me, but this is a forum and any decent forum welcomes a variety of ideas, not just everyone singing from the same hymn sheet.
