Chief Stipe Posted January 5 Posted January 5 1 hour ago, Newmarket said: I never said she wasn’t a good rider, I said she is mentioned in the Stipes Reports more than should be. What is the metric you measure "more than should be" against? The way I see it the best Jockeys are frequently mentioned in the Stipes reports. They are always pushing the margins. Was easier to do it without being seen in the old days without the Bunker and the HD Video technology slo-mo from a minimum of four camera angles!! 2 Quote

We halt racing for so called dangerous tracks…. but see nothing wrong with dangerous riding. I’m not targeting Lily, others have a worse record 2 Quote
Newmarket Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 Well, here is another jump off today at Wanganui. Horse was leading, moved out but come on, surely this happens far too often. What’s everyone’s views on this? IMG_9877.mov Quote

SLB2.0 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 They fall off easily because their feet (usually only toes) are barely in the irons. That's the price they pay. 2 Quote

As I say CLULESS is YOU When was the last time you were in the saddle chump? The local mechanical bull...tossed off like a rag doll? New Zealand is the latest stamp in the passport of the French jockey, who rode more than 100 winners in his homeland and has also ridden in Germany, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Singapore. Lerner enjoyed the most successful phase of his career in Singapore, where he rode over 200 winners at Kranji including numerous big-race successes aboard the likes of the Trelawney Stud-bred superstar Lim’s Kosciuszko and his quality Kiwi-bred stablemate Lim’s Saltoro. 1 Quote

Well he has struggled riding in NZ, only just started back riding after a suspension, 4 times charged for using whip above allowed height. Whatever you say, looked ordinary when jumping off. Maybe he needs some Velcro…. Quote

But mate…. why is it happening in NZ all the time, had another incident at weekend. Trust me, doesn’t happen nowhere near as much in Aus Quote
Special Agent Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Reading the Wanganui Stipes Report it seems there were quite a few horses shying, running off, and generally green or wayward. Hard to fathom with the number of practice events in Central. 1 Quote

I have and I fell off too. Probably my piss poor riding. HAPPY FIELD (N Hailey) - Lost its rider passing the 1300 metres after the right stirrup leather broke. N Hailey was stood down requiring a medical clearance prior to riding next. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which revealed no abnormalities. Edited January 31 by curious 1 Quote

I assume apprentices start out with new gear rather than second hand gear which you would think would be provided by the trainer that the apprentice is indentured to. Quote
