    I have not seen any book on this, thus far, but I would take RYAN MOORE to take it, having this year suffered an injury(2months absence) otherwise he would have been up there this year as well!!! :xmassanta:

    Fallon will have little chance based in Ireland, surely?

    (Assuming he's riding next season of course).

    Fallon :laughing: my ass, based on his strike rate, Moore would have been a few behind Spencer and Sanders if he'd had as many rides as Spencer this season unless of course he had tried harder and hence had a better strike rate with the incentive of the championship to go for :laughing: I would go for Moore next season.

    4/9 is a joke price but I think Moore is by far the most likely winner.

    4/9 sounds short at first, but I reckon it is about right. Who are the other serious contenders? Spencer wont go for it, nor Dettori, Seb unlikley to win it again, Hughes no chance. I'm struggling to think of many reasons to lay much bigger about Moore...

    Agreed - but is he Coolmore confirmed for next season? To me it seems unlikely that they would drop him after standing by him for so long, but any chance they might want to take a safer option next year?

    If they did and Fallon was found not guilty then I wouldn't want to be against the man with a point to prove to British horse racing.

    If they were thinking that way, I'd say the Arc changed their minds very quickly. Fallon himself will stand by Coolmore just as much if he's around next season.

    Greg Fairly as Johnstons first jockey, theres a hundred plus winners already and he will get outside ones next year. Johnstons 2yos have been quiet this year so expect much more next season. He could be the surprised package.

    4/9 to be paid out in 12 months time is no proposition, and as has been demonstrated this year, strange things happen in racing, always have done and always will do. The way I see it one of two scenarios is likely to emerge.

    Number 1: Ryan Moore stays fit and free of controversy and runs away with it.

    Number 2: Something goes wrong and with so few of the top jocks committing to a title campaign, alot of them start taking points of each other, leaving it potentially vulnerable to a Darleyesque type stratgey

    Which is why I quite like Chris's logic. How many wins will it require? How many jocks can potentially reach this level? and then work back from there. It's a shame McEvoy won't commit himself to a full season.
    Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly. _ Harry Limes
