Ohokaman 5,759 Report post Posted October 11, 2018 Accept that but talking about historical stuff, or horses she has never ridden is a bit pointless isn't it ? Have a look at Racenet. They have D Weir, Michael Walker and Hugh Bowman giving out some good info. https://www.racenet.com.au/news/winx-s-jockey-hugh-bowman-joins-the-racenet-team-for-the-spring-20181010 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerula 1,389 Report post Posted October 11, 2018 Come on Dave its just the way the world is going, a bit of self promotion. Would you like a Trumpian type figure? Do you want P0000per back? I am, pleased that Dani' feels safe to post on 'Cafe. If she stirred things up it would only excite trolls. Keep going young lady while you are comfortable. The upgraded site and the effort that Leigh has put deserves the support. Catalano, talk, Gordy55 and 4 others 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted October 17, 2018 Danielle had a great day at Te Aroha this afternoon winning the last three races. If anyone hasn't seen it go and watch the ride on Supera in R9. Particularly watch the start and the great effort to stay in the saddle. Lost six lengths at the start and still won. Well done Danielle.

Blue 1,080 Report post Posted October 17, 2018 Haven't read the stewards report but though the horse was distracted or whatever, it bounded out and took a second or two to get into stride but I didn't think it she came close to bailing out. The horse didn't buck or rear and she never lost her irons but regardless, when a horse gets left like that it struggles to finish even mid-field so appears to have a little bit of ability helped, in no small measure, by her patience.

Boys Get Paid "Ted's Treasure" had Supera on top. R9 10 SUPERA $3.00FF This is a handy mare who has won two of her six starts with both wins on a dead track and she has won her only start at Te Aroha. She was very unlucky on debut at Taupo at the end of December and then won easily at Te Rapa at her second start. Then followed a second and that win at Te Aroha and at her last start she was unplaced in the G2 Valachi Down Stakes at Te Rapa in April. She trialed up nicely at Te Teko running on nicely under a hold into third and looks ready for a bold run today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lucky to have any input from jockeys and trainers, they don’t have to give their time for interviews or offer an insight into their chances, they get nothing for it, then someone like you bags them when they do give their time and make an effort. If I was DJ and I read your comments on this thread I’d just walk away. Agree with you. I'd just like to see something relevant that the punters can work with. Hughie, Michael Walker and Darren Weir seem to do it quite well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted October 27, 2018 Jockeys give little thought for punters .it’s an unusual relationship ,where one relies on their judgement and ability supporting an industry they make a living from but mostly to their own detriment. Variables make this unique, but the one thing that stands out is judgement and this mainly stems around knowing your horse and tempo of races which is as we know is critical ,unless your on a 32 second horse like Winx .They ran a tick over 50 in the second race for 880 with a northerly wind so for mine the ride on Felaar in the first was below average, Danielle is talented no doubt, but if she admits she got it wrong and got outridden by two apprentices I’m giving her the benefit of doubt. We are only human they say.Horse didn’t look right for mine but the way the race panned out certainly didn’t help.All the best napier 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
