Grants riding has for a very long time been excellent, including having 4 winners on a few occasions plus a few group wins including the QP and Derby.

I watch thousands of repays every year and some of his riding is the best i have ever seen, he just has that ability to get horses to the line. He also showed glimpses of his brilliance in Hong Kong as well.

I study form and follow horses and not jockeys but i must say that this guy is making an extra difference to the horses he rides.

Talented and a natural..... sadly blew his chances in Hong Kong... would have excelled there. Anyway let's follow him here...... and hopefully profit from it......

Bob why is it that I suspect you, Dave and others firmly believe that Marcus (Superman) can get a horse to run faster than Domeyer, Bling, Kennedy and Muzi?

The chilli paste he uses to smear up the horse's behind is stronger than the others you mention:P
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

Because of the ride he had on Jay Peg and ever since then these deluded old men think that he is the best rider that has ever sat on a race horse.

CNC - can you imagine if GvN was the retained jockey for Richmond, how many more winners they would have.
