Yes. He's always ridden like that. That's his style. Doesn't work too badly imo.

Over rated...rides some good for certain stables and slaughters plenty..like on Saturday.

Yes 100% agree, he actually bounces up and down. He must end up with a sore arse.

Wizard of whatever, what a load of B.S

The guy had a shocker of a ride no doubt.  I'm sure even he concedes that.  But lets not forget only a couple years ago there were whole threads dedicated to him and singing his praises.  Strike rate roughly on par or better than Lily, Masa, Doyle, Cartwright, Rooke et al, and only 3 riders with more G&L winners this season. 

If hes now one of the bad ones, we can't have many good ones...

Agreed on Kennedy. Gets plenty right as well. We all have our favourites. 

Sam Spratt on mild outsiders ($8-$20) can at times be worth a punt.

The problem with Champions day is it makes this weeks racing look like crap

Sams runners always worth a look. Particularly at Te Rapa. Made a decent wedge off her two wins on Provence lately.

I feel much the same but I’ll put it another way. 
Remember when you given an incredible box of chocolates for Christmas but by the next day they were all gone? Wasn’t it an empty feeling?

Yes once the Oaks and Sires are done in a few weeks it's a long 5 or so months until the top horses are back in the spring.
