Alan King Jockeys

Not gonna waste too much time on this cos patently not what I said.

A bad Johnson ride on one of his few runners won't help him, but I think you knew what I meant anyway......

[BigAdz]

Once again another well timed reminder for Mr King who is obviously oblivious to the qualities of his 2 jockeys.

Watch the ride Wayneo just gave Kenai Penninsula. Never gave up and what a price!!

Wayne watch. Saturday 1st Dec

Thornton 4 rides for King all fancied, blows out on all of them

Hutchinson 1 ride for King 1 winner.....

You see him get Bless the wings home Friday? Must have gone a neck down with 30yards to run.

[BigAdz]

Yes mate. Said at the time couldnt see Thornton doing the same.Probably would have made his trademark hash of the last!!

On a forum where we are always looking for an edge, this is an ongoing one.

Another great ride from Choc on Salden Licht. Despite King saying it was just a learning experience we all know after 500 days they leave nothing behind in the fitness stakes, and Choc manages to turn a 5 length lead on the bend into the usual last fence blunder and lose comfortably.

What is it with Thornton and the last? Off the top of my head, Walkon(Paddy Power, Montbazon(Supreme Novice), French import at MR that started this thread when outridden by stable 2nd string, and now Salden Licht.

Sigh.......poor Wayne, having to watch these lovely horses wasted.

For balance he did turn over the 13/8 fav in the first though on Midnight Appeal, can't just post his losers  mate

That was against Johnson though, I think a few here have said he isn't too hot over fences......

Blind squirrel mate. But Johnson didnt ride a great race either IMO, making up loads of ground all at once mid race

Nothing to do with fairness. Wayne is the better jock in the yard and deserves some acknowledgement somewhere, if not from Mr King!!

Another masterclass from Deckie Johnson on Fingal Bay.

I've never liked the idea of putting a horse who's jumping badly left hard up the left side going in to the fences, as they're always liable to duck out (<<< aftertiming obv).

To think this guy would have been a multi-champion but for A P McCoy.

[BigAdz]

My best mates family own the winner Chartreux, and Roger(also has horses with Hobbs) is adamant Dickie has a big problem with his left leg. He advised Paddy to take a position behind Fingals as this problem has developed to a lot of Hobbs top horses recently, Menorah/Captain Chris etc, who have all jumped erratically, and the suspision is that Johnson has the weakness rather than these good horses.

I think this is a bit harsh.

If I'd been riding Fingal I would have shit myself and pulled up after 2 fences.

Must have been a terrifying 5 minutes

Paddy said Johnson said to him after 2 fences he didnt feel right, and Paddy said pull him up then........hmm, horses come first eh?

Hmm.

Can you imagine the outcry if a jockey pulled up a 1/10 shot after two fences and the horse is later found to be sound?
