Marcus vs Delpech

Please tell me how they could improve their quality of rides without being more selective?

Your logic tells me you want more mediocrity.

Your statement is,I grant you,probable,but certainly not inevitable,therefore not a statement of fact!
You are saying that if Marcus had taken a 100 more rides,he could not possibly have maintained his current strike rate....on what do you base that conclusion?

Imo your way of crowning the champion jockey sucks, but hey each to their own.

I'd like our best jockeys riding in every race, unlike yourself who surprisingly wouldn't mind mediocre jocks making up the fields.

its a 2 horse race... may the best jock win regardless....<

Maybe cos u don't tip lol. Anyway its taxi owner and I'm not debating just stating the obvious, and for the well respected mr 2cents to disagree with your theory as well means I'm in good company

Lol BC,you are right I don't tip,just punt ....so the only respect I desire is that of my Bank Manager.....all the other applause and accolades the tipsters can keep!

I meant tip the taxi driver and rob I've been reading abc and sfrw for a while now, you seem like an intelligent man with a wealth of knowledge in horseracing so I do respect your opinions as well, so if you felt I was slinging you then my humblest apologies

Bank manager? Your condescending manner made me think you owned the bank, in fact all of them!

Nearly 2cents,nearly.... but remember If you improve your strike rate you could become 2 rand.......lol

No sweat BC....different opinions are all good fun and soon forgotten over a booze or two.

Delpech surely want to get this over with. Already 3 WINNERS for today. Marcus 1.
3 races to go.
Bring on P.E en Kimberly....

Well what can one say, once again it was the Marcus and Delpech show today with Delpech coming up tops by riding four winners to Marcus's two and in the process, Marcus goes to 200 winners for the season. One has to pity the other jockeys as these two jockeys dominate local racing while chasing the jockey title. Delpech now increases his lead to six. Has he finally got his mindset right? He now seems to be pulling away from Marcus. I wouldn't write Marcus off just yet. There is still some interesting racing to come and one can be certain that this title chase will go down to the very last day.

How interesting and exciting racing is?

Today

Delpech - 4
Marcus - 2
