Leggy 4,093 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 7 hours ago, Sickopunter said: No. I'm not allowed to have an opinion remember, since I am not, nor have ever been a jockey. Chris Johnson is the god of racing and can do no wrong. He gave every one of those horses every opportunity to run to their best. And all young riders should use him as their example. Give me a break. Any young rider who uses him as their example will spend more time on holiday than at the races. You're certainly allowed an opinion Sicko, even if as in this case, it's dead wrong. But if it's wrong and you express it here, expect to be challenged. Seriously, I think you're a few bob short of the full quid.

This is an utter bastardisation of the English language My understanding is that it's a suitable alternative to IMO on chat sites and Trackside. Cripes you even hear and read words like "fuck" on both these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget 4,489 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 I think every fucking trainer who starts a sentence with the word "look" should be butt fxxked with a pineapple, that's the ultimate brutalisation of our language and demonstrates either a delay in the synapses between brain and tongue, or a juvenile absorption of Disney culture. There's no place for either in NZ racing IMO elbow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will never happen, which I thought summed up quite well the acceptability of the word ...imagine Rennae fronting up and telling us "fark that was a stinking shithole of a day today wasn't it Simon"....and Simon and Wendy agreeing..."Fark yes Rennae, it was too hot to even contemplate to copulate...fark me" That reflects the sentiments of the inmates of an asylum or an old people's home, because they're the only people who watch Channel One. The rest of us are over on Three watching Paul Henry impersonate LJM. We're Doomed 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryHindsight 117 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 So if I back CWJ every start how do I get on ? ROI this season is better than previous ones (allowing for the take out) but certainly a road to the poor house in the long run. His style will suit some horses I agree .

I can't be bothered looking, but can't imagine there would be any jockey who has numerous rides that you could back every start and show a profit. You have to be selective. This has really been blown out of all proportion; all someone did was mention how good a couple of CWJ's rides had been and some people have got incredibly excited. Just relax and enjoy the racing. I happen to think CWJ, when at his peak, is the best jockey I have regularly seen riding in NZ, but hey, in my much younger days my favourite jockey was Kevin Morton.

I would like to see what other Cafers point of view on the subject is. To start the ball rolling, I believe that NZ should lead by example and start planning to have it banned by 31 July 2018.
