Jockeys you wouldnt put your money on.

Have a look at the first 300m's of ALL races run 1600m's and less and see how much interference, baulking and switching is going on... imo 50% of the field lose their chance before the straight. And someone must tell Khathi that a horse is NOT a bumper car. I would like to hear how Golden Academy pulled up yesterday .

Thought I was the only one who flinched with all the bumping and boring... sprint races are a bit of a lottery...

I thought the ride would pissed only me and the trainer off....thank you buddy(tu)

As pointed out ,the Run West formline great ..............but what was the chance of a repeat...................from that stable .......slim!
Don't always blame jocks!

King Of Pain Replay

Looks like everyone is forgetting that Felix actually rode the perfect race for his horse.

I really think on another day a gap would have opened and Hatt would have got through - That's Racing

Mr H ,too many times, if you have a bet in Cape Town,you have to count on it "being your day" .............too many rides rely on weaving through the traffic and hoping for the best!......................I have posted this complaint many times and long before Saturday.

Yup Rob - when I was punting I would expect to lose 4 pa's in a row in the Cape in the hope of making if back on the fifth one -

I personally DO NOT touch Cape Town racing...i prefer to stay away and only bet for KZN and JHB meetings

I think I have made a good choice...LOL

Wish I hadn't put my money on Strydom with Blueridge Mountain....
