He’s only human Doc, some people are recidivist dopes though so fingers crossed. What we do know is he’s X factor so let’s just sit back and let it unfold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 I'm picking he will be visiting the stewards room early on in his comeback. It was the same for McEvoy on his return to Sydney racing. Simply a case of fine tuning the reflexes in a practical environment which takes time given how tight they ride Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently only 7th in NSW Premiership with 46 wins,$7.7 mio in stakes and a strike rate of 20.8%. Gets all the plumb rides from Waller and other leading trainers and if you take out Winx's earnings his numbers are not that flash this season Memphis2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVG treats them all the same IMHO You have to remember they were after the other punter as much as they were after J Mac. He ended up meat in the sandwich but has done the time and has been reliscenced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
