(tu) if it were an appie, can be excused, not and old f...............,
sorry, meant to say 'seasoned jockey' :S

Sometimes a defeatist attitude by a jock is never ever good. OK the jock/s in question on the GR1 winning favorite mentioned it's tough and very competitive and so on and mentioned the " other " horse which came down from JHB but after all is said and done, forget about the other horse owned by the same partnership doing well at home etc. Try and get your mount to BEAT the others, tactically as possible.

" Hats " off to the winning jock of the Sceptre stakes.
