Hosking is a self absorbed dick that loves himself. How anybody can listen to him beats me.

You're kidding?  Proisir has had only 1 Grp1 winner in Australia.  Legarto!

No,I am not kidding.Proisir stands at stud here .

How many Australian runners has he had?

NZ jockeys are our shining stars.

Mickey Dee is on fire these days.

I assume you mean in OZ only?

How many are in the Top 10 in OZ?

I think Legarto could have carried anyone and won.

NZ jockeys have always held their own in Australia and IMO they are better riders than their Australian counterparts on a per capita basis.

Outside the main metropolitan tracks Australian jockeys are very poor and even many of their city jockeys lack judgement and patience.

As always, the pen is mightier than the sword and it's the half-baked Australian media who have (wrongfully) portrayed NZ jockeys as inferior.

So where would you rank collectively the Jockeys for a Premier Saturday Open race at Riccarton vs an Aussie venue?  Certainly not metro surely.

I'm referring to our best jockeys past and present, not the majority of John Wayne's going around here at the moment.

JMac is considered the best in the world.Jason Collett is in the top 6 in NSW...M.Dee in the top 5/6 in Victoria.

The only thing that would have stopped Legarto is' a good judge' picking her b4 the..race was run!😃

I actually think it was a pretty calm ride. A lesser jockey could easily have been tempted to drag the horse sideways for a clear run at them and lost a lot of ground. As it was, he just waited for a gap and luckily it came.

First Grp1 winner in Australia sired by Proisir.

A sire doing a very good job , I'm surprised they didn't sell better. Some exciting times ahead at stud for him.
