Lordship 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 One thing you can always guarantee with a Barry Purdon drive is that he will drive his charge exactly as if it is the best horse in the race. He was right with that today but asked the horse to do just too much I'm sure he'd admit it wasn't one of his better drives Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiah 13 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 Cant train cant drive look at his record, you might see a few cups and a few Miracle Miles amongst them. Yep, but I was really good at my sports thirty years ago as well. He is not driving anywhere near the number of horses as he used to in his hey day. He should not be on ANY of the horses if he is going to drive like that - let alone a hot favourite He sat three wide dithering about what he should do for two rounds before finally pushing forward - he was the only one out there!!!!!!!! Wouldve couldve shouldve won by three lengths minimum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to move forward but there was a long drawn out war for the front. So he simply stayed out of it until it was done and then moved forward. As I said. Just a victim of circumstances.

Victim of circumstance - what a load of crap Easy for you to say when you didnt have a pile of multis dependent on Raydon. He just sat there doing nothing three wide when there were gaps everywhere in front and behind to get in. He should have gone forward straight away in my opinion but anything decisive would have been OK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiah 13 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Well well - some of you lot rate yourselves very highly then The horse had settled seemed to be OK in his gait - and he still stayed out there doing nothing three wide Duel for the front ??? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee Anyone in front would have handed up to him Some of you are unbelievably senseless - if you can watch that race again and not believe hand on heart that Raydon would have won that race with a decent drive - then you should all lock your wallets away and never attend another meeting because unless Lady Luck anchors herself to your arms permanently then you will chuck a lot of money away Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rufus001 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Anyone in front would have handed up to him That's actually why there was a duel for the lead. The horse in the death didn't want to get stuck there. And the leader didn't want to end up three back on the pegs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Will Fly 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 what was mckendry doing on dux, if he had taken a trail behind lleyton H he would have been 3 deep fence and getting a drag into the race...... maurie mac's drive on dux is equal to butchers on awesome armbro, he gave his horse absolutely no chance when he had a brain explosion, Raydon victim of Circ's for sure.

Bradez 5 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 McKendry was in a position (on the markers leading) where he can make the decision on what he wants to do. Phil Butcher on AA wanted to be somewhere else and never gave up costing his horse any chance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldson 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 I understand that its natural to get upset when a driver does something you as an individual don't agree with. But lets not forget that it's called gambling for a reason, not only are you gambling on the horse but also the driver / jockey responsible for manoeuvring the horse in the race. If someone makes a genuine mistake (this does not include Phil Butcher) than thats life, move on and get over it. If thats something you can't do than maybe you should be betting on greyhounds.
