Sam Thomas gets the ride on KAUTO STAR! I think he really deserves the confidence! I'm sure he won't let KAUTO STAR's connection down.

....as they jump the final fence....
big chance. good luck to him
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
surely big chance but think kauto star has never been so vulnerable. not a big fan.

Good for him,his ego and self confidence needs a good boost,(anybody else sense the sarcasm dripping off that comment in bucketloads!!)
Hmmm, I wouldn't want him on the horse if I owned it.

R. Hughes would have been the obvious choice for me! Nice springboard for his jumping career.

What is the problem that people have with Sam.
Does his belief in his ability somewhat out-weigh the reality?
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
I have no insight to offer, I wasn't there the day he rode BC.
I have no doubt that spam has ability and is very talented jockey,unfortunately he too has no doubt about it whatsoever :P
Any prices around, he won't get around at HADDOCK??????????? :suspect:

I know Grey, I was there!!! The choice was not mine either!!
I don't think that he's the greatest pilot in the world over fences, which is why I wouldn't choose to jock him up on one of mine in a chase especially, least of all on a horse who is known to take a chance at a fence or two.

So with all the concern about his jockey, what chance he'll go off a backable price and win handsomely, thus confounding the prophets of doom?
Surely PN would not use him if he was as bad as all that would he? The liberties KS takes with some fences and his last run would put me of more than the jockey.
People are making a big deal out of it - off level weights he'd have won by half the track. So he didn't cruise up to the leaders like he usually does and go past them etc. but Nicholls told everyone before the race that he'd left plenty to work on. In the circumstances it was a cracking run, there aren't too many horses who could give a stone or so to a Grade 1 winner in his own back yard and go down very narrowly.
Evs is a great price for Saturday.

I'd rather have Rose Davidson on my horse than Sam Thomas.
handsome is as handsome does
On paper his run against Monets Garden (who didnt run to his best imo) looks very good and of course it is. I just worry about him being scrubbed along after just going a circuit....getting lazy or losing interest.
He used Joe Tizzard and Christian Williams didn't he?Originally posted by bloodnok@Nov 21 2007, 05:20 PM
