You people that hide behind names should spend some time actually in a yard to see how much work goes into producing a horse to races and how much work a guy like Chase puts in nearly every morning. A lot more than those top jocks do. Work from a jockey is invaluable and Chase never shirks that. I’d be very happy to have a horse run 3 places in first 3 runs ..little ATM

With all due respect Sir

he may work hard and diligently and harder than the top jocks do but to be quite honest he lacks the innate ability that the tops jocks have and his in race decisions often leave something to be desired! i cud quite honestly suggest if you were to swap the jocks in that race the result wuda most certainly been different!

And I wud never claim to know what it takes to train or ride a horse competitively cos i wud quite honestly NOT know where to start! I take my hate off to whoever attempts it as it cant be easy! However you are professionals and in the a public domain where ppl are wagering their money and hoping to get paid the the outcome of your charges so unfortunately you are gonna be open to public scrutiny and ridicule for your actions right or wrong!!

Once again pls forgive me for stating and picking on the wrongs(in my uneducated opinion) I see!!

Ill leave you with this thought. If u had a horse good enuff to make it into and be a serious contender in a grade 1 July Met Summer Cup etc, would u want Chase ontop to bring the TITLE home? Thats the way us punters feel in every race wen we wager out hard earned money.....

No harm intended!
