chevy86 2,710 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 26 minutes ago, Insider said: Rumpole, is Chris riding poorly or are your choice of mounts even worse as the strike rate in the North the last week or so is well below par? Seemed to be today Insider that 2 or 3 horses in each race handled it and the rest struggled. Just my observation and not any particular jockey's incompetence.

Just my observation and not any particular jockey's incompetence. Chevy86, actually I would never doubt Chris's ability. But I was questioning Rumpole's choice of mounts given the last weeks results! I was trying to do it nicely, but you have drawn it out of me. Maybe the Barrister is on a losing streak just like myself, except for last Saturday at Trentham when the winners (3 of which came easily at good prices) and of course Haussmann for the Pike Team at a good price. I bet LJM got a return too! chevy86 and gary1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet LJM got a return too! It has been tough but CWJ had 3 seconds at Wingatui, a second at Trentham with 3 thirds, Egmont was tough for both Johnsons Yesterday at Matamata he had a close second and a good third His riding is fine but the Barrister is on a losing streak after a fantastic run. Fortunately no one has been hanged or jailed but a few have lost their licence Choice of mounts??? That is an interesting comment.Some races there is no choice others you may have 5 offers and have to plump for one like the Wanganui Cup on Saturday I can assure you Insider it is not an easy vocation. Did I see you at Trentham last Saturday?? If not why not?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy is riding five days in a row and I don't see him as yet with any rides at Ellerslie for Monday. You are slipping. After riding 5 days in a row it has been decided to give him a day off Monday and Tuesday. Monday has lots a jumping races. He rides Sunday Otago and will miss church. As at the present moment he is driving the Parsons truck to Timaru. He is a busy chap No racing Tuesday but back to Riccarton Wednesday. Danielle might be there. When does she go to Sweden Ted?

rdytdy 5,343 Report post Posted June 1, 2017 Gee Rumpole the Lord rested on the seventh day, not the sixth and seventh. The Lady Jockeys’ Thoroughbred World Championship is on July 4 at Europe’s newest racecourse, Bro Park, comprising four heats and a final on a programme that will be exclusively for female riders. She flies out after the Re Rapa meeting and back the following Friday. I don't think you will find she will be at Riccarton as she is pretty laid back about the premiership and not making it a priority by chasing rides all around the country, rather just attending to business as usual in the North. Whether that changes in the last couple of weeks, depending on what happens, who knows. I will be happy for either to win but personally be more pleased to see Danielle get there.

We're Doomed 4,866 Report post Posted June 1, 2017 It always creates interest if it gets close over the last few meetings and always nice to see the leading jockey crack the 100 wins for the season. Here's hoping they both get to 100 wins. rdytdy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Cameron why are you at Wanganui? A bit strange Rumpers... Electrode and Maygrove his best down there, but you would have thought he would do better at Ellerslie. Then again, Baker/ Forsman appear to be supporting a Cambridge jock so maybe not so surprising. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the average tote price of his winners is? I am not sure if that is available anywhere. Also interesting to note that the premiership winner will ride a lot fewer winners than the champions of previous years, obviously a result of fewer racemeetings and all of the eight race cards.
