Could you go again with capital letters, commas, full stops and some of the words that seem to be missing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
winx21 70 Report post Posted November 1, 2020 You all wondering why walker doesn't get rides... He summed it up in a recent interview that he tells the truth to the owners/trainers if he thinks the horse is no good. problem is when he sits 3 deep or makes bad decisions and gets beat he comes and blames the horse saying its no good. There is few owners/trainers on here.Anyone get pissed off when a jockey slaughters there horse and instead of admitted it blame the horse? That's what walker does and its put him on the wrong side of a lot of owners and trainers in Melbourne. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted November 2, 2020 I’d rather have a Trainer and or Jockey to give me “an honest” opinion - good or bad. I had one go round this year and ran 2nd in a close photo - a whisker in it. Jock got off and said, “ I still can’t believe I haven’t won. I was in front everywhere but the line”. My immediate response was, “Yes, you certainly were in front - until you stopped riding 2 strides from the post!” I later told the trainer he should tell his jockeys to “ride their horses through the line about 10metres in a close one”. He agreed. Perhaps if MJW is forthright in his comments he could possibly do it using different language ? After all, “Piss Off, Leave me alone Dickhead, and Can I please have a bit of privacy for a while”, all have the same meaning don’t they?
