race 3 ellerslie

[the galah]

is it just me,or do others think w pinn was trying to deck the horse inside it on purpose,simply because it pushed him a bit wider.

and besides,i once heard j mcdonald say,when explaining a turnaround in a horses formthat getting into a bumping duel can take a lot out of your horse and that when you see horses do that,you can excuse them for not performing quite as well as you may expect.

if j mcdoanld thinks that,what was w pinn doing.

pinn obviously rode ina  manner that negatively impacted his own chances as well as it looking dangerous..

I happen to watch the race,  actually yelled out to Mrs,  you will have to watch the reply of this race!  Big Argy Bargy!! Having looked at it again, 1st time it looked like they were both fighting for a line/space, 2nd time, I though perhaps #3 had it! and  Outside came over the inside horse.  It will be interesting to see how the stipes see it!

after watching it a few times,i guessed maybe pinn has a very short fuse..

i have no idea,he may be a very happy chappy,just it appeared not so in that race.

If you owned or trained the horse he rode,would you appreciate it being ridden like a demolition derby car?

Hard to tell without the head on but I think Pinn was just holding his line, and not allowing himself to be poshed out

Thought same…. too many jockeys get bullied out of positions

the more I watch it! it appeared as if Pinn's horse arched in! as they entered the straight, I thought the inside horse had the run down that path!   when does the stipes report come out?

Gee,if thats holding your line then how dangerous is it to be a jockey.  

everyone sees things different i suppose.

The last time i commented on a jockey riding in a manner that i thought was dangerous was  a couple of minutes after i watched a race at cambridge a couple of years ago which turned out to involve a fatality.

.Only difference was today the jockey had more intent  to put his rival onto heels whereas the cambridge one was a terrible misjudgment.

i thought it just good luck pinns riding didn't cause any injuries to the horse it was knocking around or the others that would have gone over the top had it fallen.

Today there was slight outward movement by the horse racing a length in front and just to their inside,but  i still can't see why any jockey would have so little regard for a fellow jockeys safety,even if they weren't happy about being pushed out. That horse that pinn knocked around was very lucky not to clip heels and fall.
