Throw him a bone Slip, he wouldn't have got off many for A Mathews over the years. Couldn't blame the bloke when he's getting some opportunities from Bob to give it a proper go.
Remember in the winter he picked up a couple of Group races on Perfect Jewel at juicy odds, so you don't have to be on the top picks to be a chance on one of the army.

And that jockey is 100% correct Lucy Warwick has to be asked questions but she seems to of avoided any scrutiny about her ride

She gave her mount every possible chance of winning she has nothing to answer to.. Unlike the other jockey in question! Good on her for trying to take advantage of what looked a race devoid of speed, last I checked there were no speed cameras on the racetrack clocking how fast they run

Does he still get rides does he?
???????????? you ???????? so it’s ok for to not take a sit when she had the chance to but not the other horse jog on
Her horse jumped a length clear of the field and every other jockey threw the anchor out to sit behind her.
I can guarantee you - she would rather not have led at all.
So how does she face any more scrutiny than any other.
Got me baffled RE all these complaining RE tempo in races - yet they all want someone else to do it for their benefit.
IMO if you have multiple horses in a race and you want speed on, then you should have one doing so - from the start.
Not all just sit back and complain later.

the only thing that matters, is giving the horse you are riding the best go you possibly can, if that means crawling in front, and the others dills let it happen, then that is their problem

I reckon we forget about these such points:
1. pace
2. lack of pace
3. you can't have pacemakers
4. you can't eyeball me
We should just let the circumstances of the race take care of themselves- it would be a much better sport.
I'm not saying that riders shouldn't be held to account if they didn't give their horse it's chance (ie. pacemakers can set the pace but not if it is excessive), but for fuggs sake if someone eyeballs your horse and they didn't break any rules, then TOO BAD. You either win or you don't, given the circumstances of that race, like I said.
I see horses eyeballing others frequently and they are often roughies with no chance to begin with. It is up to the jockey who is being eyeballed to deal with that. For the record, I think Lucy dealt with it perfectly well on Solaia but unfortunately for her and the many owners it came up short on the day.
Back when racing was real and competition was fierce- this would've been sorted on the day with perhaps a verbal barrage if the jockey felt stiffed. But there is no doubt that it wouldn't have this sort of carry on because that was when you could say "thats racing" and you cop it on the chin and smarten up for the next time. This shyt on here for near-on a week sums up the difference between now and then perfectly well.

Dunno and frankly don't care, although maybe there should have been more if this week's crap is anything to go by.
I stated my feels for my wishes for the future. You can keep harping on one event in the past if you like but it's not going to change that it ran 2nd and its not going to change the outcome of the stewards hearing so maybe spend your precious time looking for something to gamble on tomorrow instead.
amen to that. All i wanna back is the horse that is using vanilla essence as fly repellant? =))
Well you won't be able to smell it from where you watch the races. Need to get close to the source
