The Goodwood

[Johnny Park]

My tip is for the Peter Moody trained Regent Street

Quinella - Regent Street & Recurring.

 

[Dogga]

Some good runs came out of the Yallambee. Blur, Skewiff & Super Elegant are all chances. With the speed horses French Bid, Ellicorsam etc drawing wide I am leaning towards Blur to get home over the top of them.

Pardon????

If I were an owner and had a choice of any rider to ride my horse Greg Childs would come under serious consideration!!

greg childs is a dumb man.

remember the cox plate when viscount got squished??

it took him 15 seconds to answer a simple yes/no question.

never liked him since.

BTW just because childs won cox plates on sunline doesnt make him good, sunline was super, i could win on her!

Id suggest that any jockey worth his/her salt would take the time considering how he/she was to answer a question asked by racing stewards when a protest is being heard.

Sunline wasnt the only horse that Greg Childs ever rode. I believe, and I stand corrected if Im wrong, he was undefeated aboard Northerly in 5 or 6 rides.
Has ridden many winners for the Hayes stable also....

His ride on Super Elegant in the Goodwood was a beauty also....

I think your judging him on one incident, have you ever made a mistake in your life before?

 

[benbergin]

he takes off to early and too quickly round the turn, which makes the horse go from a slower pace to a faster pace very quickly and uses up all the horses "carrots" in doing so

 

[Northerly01]

Youve been playing the Horse Racing Game at Timezone Benbergin.....

If Childs "Goes too early" all of the time then nobody would be legging him up.....

Maybe he has burnt you a couple of times?

All jockeys at some stage have been guilty of going too early...

They are not robots!!!!

 

[benbergin]

i still dont rate him as a jockey or a person

 

[Northerly01]

FYI !!!!

Childs rode a double at Doomben today.

Booting home Super Elegant, still dont know how Our Egyptian Reine could have possibly thrown the race away like it did.

Also a masterful ride on Natural Woman in the Fillies race. 25/1!!

He didnt go too early on those two!!!

Why are you wasting your time and money backing crabs for Deej ?

btw, sportsman ran near last.

Gotta admit , I backed Scenic Peak, but was lengths behind the first 2. Might butter up on him in the Stradbroke

Same here.

Might throw him in a quinella with Recurring.
