Brodie Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Interesting how a horse can be improved by swapping trainers! Jamies Bad Boy won its second race tonight at Forbury now trained by Mark Jones. Craig Buchan trained it for many starts and mainly raced at Forbury always against maidens As it couldn’t win a race for him in excess of 35 starts. Showed a little ability every now and then but didn’t really look like it would win a race on many occasions. Mark Jones now trains and won twice and has looked a very fair horse when it has done everything right! Amazing really how they improve when a more professional trainer does things differently and get them fit and keen to race!

The jones team has improved immensely in the last 2 or 3 months,and its been noticeable how much better they have been driven. Funnily enough since S Tomlinson has stopped driving many of the jones team her driving has also improved and she is currently driving very well,in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatchcock Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 He always promised to win two or three. He's done that now but won't go much further and unlikely he;ll be onsold to Aussie with this spreaders and penchant for galloping. Handy pickup from them, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy pickup from them, though When Craig Buchan trained him, you seriously couldn’t think that he showed enough to win 2 or 3. You may be correct that he won’t be sold overseas due to his rough gate, however Mark may well send him over to race on the big track at Menangle.

Even Blind Freddie could see it, he was just NEVER going to do it in that stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct., so how did you know that it was going to be leaving Craig Buchan’s training ? Edited October 20, 2019 by Brodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was being offered for sale for a number of months and Craig was telling everyone he was going to sell his property and retire. Believe he has one horse left now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
