Races 1 and 4. Anything else will be a bonus.
Best from the Daby stable are Races 2 and 8

As long as Imran Chisty is riding for the Daby stable I won't be backing their horses that's for sure.
Don't rate him one bit.

Did you see his ride on the favourite in the first yesterday?

No I didn't see it Thor but I gather it wasn't too good.

He sent the horse to the front like a scalded cat, and just got run of second late. Very poor ride - Horse was definitely a winner with a better ride.
I actually looked who was riding the horse after the race to make a mental note to avoid the jockey where possible, so find it interesting that you also mentioned this jockey now.

We so needed Bernie on Moschino.
Who the hell was the replacement rider?
Didn't help the horse one bit.

Not sure why Bernard is "indisposed today. I will try and find out.

Durbs
I echo your sentiments regarding Chisty.
Unfortunately, there are no good jockeys in Mauritius at the moment.
Rama started his 2 week suspension last week. Not that he is any better.

I am not sure how Bernard got to Mauritius as I am not aware of resumption of international fights.

Didn't want to post this but rather let you guys know.
The reason that Bernard was MIA last week, is because he failed a breathalyser test.

If you are going post this stuff, then at least give the full story.
The man had 3 winners on Saturday and went out afterwards to celebrate. There was a double header meeting and on Sunday morning there was still residual alcohol from the night before.

Harsh I know Peter but he knows the rules so should have just celebrated on Sunday fully knowing if he has too much it would show up on the test the next day.
Like you said residual,so it was a tiny amount but that split second decision could be life or death for both jockeys and horses.
Zero tolerance when driving a car and zero tolerance when riding a horse in a race is how it should be.
