Tudor is a much better jockey than Tom Scudamore so hope they thrive.
It is odd - she cannot seem to get a ride - though she does ride one for Clive Cox in the Bath listed race tomorrow .
I don’t think she had much choice rather than chose to go freelance she was riding hardly any of his horses by then .
Palmer did jock her off some horses after her hand injury last summer and I...
Josephine Gordon's career seems to be in freefall - not only the split from Palmer but she seems reliant now on the odd ride from Phil McEntee, Gay Kelleway and John Best - and the others who were...
Surely we should see what his consultant has to say rather than speculate.
James Bowen and Harry Cobden continue to shine . Bowen outstanding not just on Raz de Maree but also some of Christian Williams recently and horses really do seem to jump for Cobden - Politologue was...
Nowhere near as good as his elder brother - wise I should have thought to pack up . Then again I have never forgiven him for his rush of blood to the head on Baby Run in the Foxhunters !
I can see why James Bowen is so highly touted . A very impressive ride on Thomas Campbell on Saturday - no panic when Paddy rushed up his inside on Anteros . Interesting the changes at Nicholls yard...
He had an infamous Twitter spat with Chaparse this summer .
Not a surprise there were clearly still significant issues with his back and he did not ride horses he had been booked to ride at Chelmsford and Haydock recently . A very good jockey who of course...
Six month drugs ban in France for Rab Havlin ! He is appealing alleging cross contamination .
Too awful for words - all best to him and his family.
I tend to think there should be a middle way - not to be named until charged unless a judge on an application by the police says there is good reason for naming beforehand e.g evidence that there may...
Oxx dropped him like a hot brick though .
There clearly appears to be a shortage of top flat jockeys when Holland is rescued from obscurity by Charlie Hills and Ralph Beckett goes for the questionable talents of Fran Berry .
Anyone see Pendleton's ride on PDP the other day ? Paul Nicholls seemed impressed .
Lester was 80 on 5th November ! Very good article in the Guardian online - including the classic
Q Do you think you would have won the 1972 with today's whips and rules
A ( Lester pats...
I suspect the sale of Toormore was the last straw . I bet he regrets turning the Al Shaqab job down out of loyalty to the Hannons now.
I haven't seen the RP for a couple of days but does this mean AOB will have first claim on Ryan . He is jocked up for a lot of Stoute runners at the Craven meeting .
Buick is much more comprehensible than Doyle - the cheque must have been very very big .
He is four years younger than Lester was when he got the Cecil job in 1980 !
A kick in the teeth for Hayley Turner today - losing one of her last good rides to Dettori who promptly lands a G1 with Ribbons .
She has had a terrible time since her injuries - nearly all of...
Terrible news - condolences and thoughts be with him and his two boys.
As for his ride on Wigmore Hall :confused:
