Newmarket Posted Friday at 11:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:41 PM You know what…. Meetings get called off at the drop of a hat because of track conditions… Here this guy is getting interviewed today, clearly not well. I’ve watched plenty of medical shows, this guys either got covid or a bad chest infection. Clown interviewing him said go get a drink of water…. FFS, not fit to be riding.

Chief Stipe Posted Friday at 11:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:55 PM Do you think the Premiership might be having an influence? I think his wife told him he could only have one go at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the point if he wins or comes last, it’s like any workplace, if you’re not fit you should not be working. Especially as we are told how dangerous riding is. You do understand what I am saying? Strange you put up how many wins he has for season, then get excited that he wins a race? Strange…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point? You speculate he has a cold or worse after he has just ridden a race. At least he turned up for work and obviously is fit enough to do so. Are you precious? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted Saturday at 04:15 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:15 AM He was interviewed before first race, obviously sick. These clown riders call off races all the time if it gets slippery, so if they are crook you would think he would not ride??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be a good Jockey then because he can ride a winner when @Newmarket would have gone home for the day. Then of course @Newmarket can be an online doctor assessing someone in a 30 second interview as to their health. BTW if you are looking for a note to not turn up for work next week @Newmarket is offering an online service. Just get Trackside to interview you and it's sorted.

Meanwhile @Newmarket sitting at the pub on his fifth pint and chips is worried about Warren sounding poorly after he has ridden a horse full noise over a dodgy track in the middle of winter... Oh the life of a punter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he win a Wellington fup on Rastes, many years ago, and the jarden mile on south islander Johnny alone, going back many a year, great he's still involved in the game.

Lots of Photographers lining the rail (the boss) Ken Lush had the #1 spot, then lots of Press, I took a gamble, and headed for the inside and took a couple of cool shots! back then you go One Click, not auto drive! both photos were used in FF and in the Racing Annual for that year! Made even better by being good mates with Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Certainly both horses caused upsets at long odds, from memory the other south islander knight invader finished second, success for the south horses was quite rare back then, Jonny alone by by a not so popular sire blue vermillion, certainly brings back memories, the camera technology very different these days, interesting know the best shot and horse that stands out overs the years of photography, bet there's been a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we can be thankful that we experienced it from golden to sunset. Might be the theme of your Exhibition MF.
