Trump 2,598 Report post Posted October 9 I see he has only one ride at Caulfield tomorrow and has been taken off his Blue Diamond winner, Tagaloa, in the Guineas. His ride on Sierra Sue to win at Flemington was great. Can’t understand what’s going on with him. Maybe he’s not riding trackwork? Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis2 1,076 Report post Posted October 9 Have a look at the article a couple of days ago on Racenet about him. I agree deserves more rides . Last weeks win was a ride of a guy in top form. Something funny going on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still, I can’t believe he has only one ride. What’s the bet he will jag a couple of big race wins during the Spring carnival. He’s an outsider chance on Odeum in race 7.

Trump 2,598 Report post Posted October 10 A cracker ride by Mickie on Odeum and we are in the money. My daughter loves me! How about Tagaloa? Last! So much for the “Unlucky” Jockey bullshit. Interesting Michael’s comments coming back to scale, saying he didn’t know why he wasn’t getting more rides but that hopefully this win will give trainers more incentive to put him on. A class act and I loved the “Tongue salute”. How bad can Oliver’s day get? He’s riding poorly and had Mo’unga last in the run. No show from there.

Trump 2,598 Report post Posted October 19 Good to see Michael’s Manager is on the ball for the Geelong Cup meeting on wed. Michael’s got a ride in the Benchmark64 and the B70 races. I think one is 60/1, so two good rides but none in the Geelong Classic or the Cup. It’s a shame he’s not getting the opportunities but there’s obviously something going on - he’s too good a rider. Maybe he’s not riding trackwork? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ponderosa8 454 Report post Posted October 19 Wonder how Michael and his manager are feeling after the Caulfield Cup on Saturday. His "normal" Carnival mount Prince of Arran ran a slasher to get up for 4th and must be a great chance in the Melbourne Cup on that run..... while Michael's chosen mount Dashing Willoughby ran last and you'd think no chance in the Melbourne Cup on that run..

DW is one of those long distance plodders who maintains a gallop over 3000+m. I don’t think he’s the type that would win a Melb Cup. JMHO. You need a turn of foot to win Aust staying races. The Caul Cup was a prime example. To be fair, Michael took the ride because of his loyalty to Sir Owen Glenn. Anyone else, I’m sure he would have stayed with Prince of Aron.
