Craig Grylls losing streak

[curious]

Any updated thoughts on that now @Thomass?

[Murray Fish]

did he beat OP's streak?

"

Opie Bosson, a celebrated New Zealand jockey and multiple Group One winner.
How many: 50 consecutive starts without a victory.

Context: During the 2016 Hong Kong racing season, Bosson experienced a notable slump. An SCMP article reported that "Heading into Sunday it was zero wins from 50 starts" before he finally broke the streak. This 50-ride winless run is often cited as a prominent example of a losing streak for a New Zealand jockey."

Interestingly I thought he'd changed his whip action somewhat during his losing streak

Appeared to refrain from striking his mounts over the head by letting his whip recess into his inside elbow

When winning on ULTIMATE HABIT...didn't need to do a thing basically...that horse looks outstanding

Then reverted back to type on ARCHAIC SMILE

 No only struck the flank on 2/3 occasions once through the gap but also flattened AS's near side ear when striking the neck/head area

I'd post the screenshot but as you know I've been BANNED from fee speech

Drop me your addy if you want to see the screenshot nastys...but I'm picking you can do exactly what I've done

n.b After Kelly Myers finally got charged for whip flanking...she change her whip action

Now on a 29 run losing streak she reverted back to type in the last

Whip flanking and numerous over the head strikes, flattening ears on 2/3 occasions in a desperate ILLEGAL attempt to win
