Remember the golden rule, only punt them when the big moneys up, then they can race 3 wide the trip and still win. Otherwise, when no moneys up they race like tonite.

Natalie the best driver in NZ, second only to Alford in my opinion. I don' rate Cox, he is a mediocre driver, prone to hotheadedness and WTF moves and poor strike rate. I would rather have Olivia Thornley on board than him. Yes, I know all the girls love him but I don't back anything Cox is driving. I reckon Ladie In Red would get beaten if he was aboard. Useless.

Yes it seems when you look at it , he seems to have lost all form as you and Newmarket are suggesting. Has had quite a few Allstars drives past year without even going close with some (most) of them. am Missing Tim a bit on the 3rd string drives a little. he had much better results. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Williams on a different level than Cox mate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I understand why punters get frustrated with cox,he tends to have a go with the flo type approach to his driving and its unusual for him to show much aggression tactically. His natural instinct is to go back,hes consistent that way so you know what you get when you invest on him. Take Folklore at cambridge a couple of nights ago. A red hot favorite who is best saved for one run,but you knew it was a race where because of its superior ability it could be driven more aggressively than normal and still win in the field it was against. But cox never altered his normal driving style and came with a run that was way too late. But didn't punters know he was likely to drive like that so should they complain? Well i think the answer is no they shouldn't,but complaining does ease the frustration they must have with some of his drives.Personally I don't mind backing him if hes paying a good dividend,but believe if hes driving a favorite i would get better value backing something else.

I agree with much of what you say mate. But regarding Folklore at Cambridge.To be fair to Cox, I think she has to be driven that way as she is a weak and not very brave horse that cannot do any work. If she has to go round a horse during the running she usually chucks it in. When left for the last run she always comes home strong. She would be suited to Menangle I think, Cox should send her over to young Trainor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your right about folklore not being able to do work and still win,but when a race is unfolding into a sprint home and you are driving the class horse of the field that broke the track record 2 weeks prior, i think most hope the driver would at least make a move early enough to give it a winning chance.How many horses do you see come from 8 lengths off the pace at the end of the back straight like it was and get up and win. Sending it to trainor seems a good suggestion to maximise its earning capacity if that is what they are about. I actually backed one cox drove yesterday and he gave it every chance,making a move when the pace was slow,but it faded late,just not good enough on the day. Good drive though.He does drive a lot of horses that haven't got a high winning chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
