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!!

Warnings are not good, surely even you can agree. 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

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?

My view is you're CLULESS 

Shied at the upcoming crossing

 No doubt it moved out, horses are not machines. Question is, minimal movement, experienced jockey would have stayed on.

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.

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….

They fall off easily because their feet (usually only toes) are barely in the irons. That's the price they pay.

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

Clipped heels didn't it?

Stewards vision?  Speaking of which - where is the Stewards vision for Ellerslie last Saturday?  You would have thought that "Racing Headquarters" would have got the tapes downtown by now.

Although, a race or 2 later, a horse jumped out bucking and the jockey did a huge job keeping on….

Ever ridden a horse at 60 clicks when a leather broke Newmarket? 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.

Why did she need a vet check?

You are falling into the modern trap of commenting before all the facts are out popeye. Apprentice was fined (minor) for using sub standard gear as opposed to poor riding. As usual it is the punter who loses the most.

When I had my apprentices I provided gear and was responsible for the condition of.  Not the cleaning etc, but they had brand new stuff and could upgrade any time necessary.

How long does "the gear" last?  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.
