Aye. but would you think so, if you'd run into a wayward horse, and your bike was written off in the process?

That might be a fair point, had Bryony horse been wayward enough to cause an incident and had Robbie Dunne's horse run into it.
Then again you agreed that "that any drift to the left is imperceptible" in this following incident from the summer https://www.theguardian.com/sport/bl...ver-10-day-ban
So, who knows. Imagine if Bryony was riding that one.
Interesting ride on Lil Rockerfeller!
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
The brother was on the phone straight after the race to discuss it. Neither of us had a bet in the race. He was wondering about why LR was ridden that little bit wider.
I said she was either asked to or decided the ground might have been slightly better out there.
I said I thought the two jockeys were absolutely brilliant.
It's a game of opinions.
Illegitimi non carborundum
Not a huge fan of all the noise around BF, but she was really good on LR. She is good at her day job.

Great stuff from Bryony there giving her horse time to recover after that potentially race-ending blunder

Beautiful ride. Interesting they made about the sun. It could well have been a factor.

Don't want to put all the females into the same category, but rather than starting a new thread....I thought the ride Brigit Andrews gave Favoir a class ride at Haydock (no financial involvement) but horse not helping on the run - awkward head carriage and wanting to lug in behind - have seen many jockeys get that wrong. Thought it was a class finish.

Vote Alfie!!!!
I actually assumed he’d been moved to the Nichols yard so that Bryony could ride him in the National. It just seemed to me that they are a perfect combination for the race. Other than that I don’t understand why he would have been switched. Venetias owners are usually pretty loyal to her.
