JJ Flash 2,132 Report post Posted September 13, 2020 This youngster should be told that junior drivers races are not as he says "Boys Races" when being interviewed on TV. There are many junior women drivers performing admirably and actually winning that premiership, something he has not been able to achieve.

eljay 1,719 Report post Posted September 14, 2020 Well, looking at Auckland noms this week they will soon become a fond memory with the club wiping the race without even trying get more horses - by leaving it open or even by ringing around trainers. Doesn't paint a rosy picture for the youngies contemplating working in the Industry. Last week Cambridge scrubbed too. sapphirecastleton and JJ Flash 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilcoyne 196 Report post Posted September 14, 2020 Last 2 seasons have been the biggest mistakes for "junior" drivers. Go hell for leather from the get go and stuff the results. Check out the race at Methven on Sunday. Rank outsider not handing up and eventually finished somewhere in the wop wops. Should have been hauled before the JCA and sent back to pony club Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay 1,719 Report post Posted September 14, 2020 There are just as many bad drives in the senior ranks too! The juniors a little while back in the north were assigned a "mentor" who discussed their drives with them and tutored them as to what they did wrong (or right) for each drive they had. Haven't heard lately of the scheme but presume it has been discontinued. You don't just pick up a discus and throw an Olympic record but a little tutoring and encouragement is gold. I also believe the former cadet scheme has vanished which really means the young ones these days are virtually just thrown off the deep end. Some are lucky however by getting good bosses who give heaps of advice to their staff and it shows with their improvement.

Just look at closing sectionals and times then wonder how those horses will go next start at Addington on A/W Greg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
