The muppet at his very best

Superb Spirit 4-1 I to 14-10.....Purton up and gives it a 3 or 4 wide ride the whole way and comes 4th.
The Muppet was 0.18-10....less than 1-5....to win the jockey challenge today.
After race 5 he is on 6 points with  Badel on 30.
Yes he's got Ka Ying Rising coming up and another favourite but if Badel can win on Winning Ovation...18-10.. in the 10th I think he will lose the jockey challenge 


 

And now outgunned by a stekkie
 

If a certain ex jockey in SA was riding Ka Ying Rising I doubt if the horse would have won a single race let alone 19 on the spin

Or maybe it could have been 21 straight wins and might still be undefeated cause Purton did lose on Ka Ying Rising twice....one by a SH and the other by a nose

 

While we are talking kak on this thread................

It will be nice to see Buffalo Storm Cody against Ka Ying Rising.

Badel coming 2nd and Purton running unplaced means the Muppet,at the odds of 1-5,has managed to lose the jockey challenge even before the last race is run

Speaking of ex jockeys , heard a rumor that  Anton Marcus aka Superman , comeback is imminent , will be great to see one of the greatest back in the saddle 

And as for that overrated Ryan Moore , shouldn't he have been put on pension by now 

I was wrong,and not for the first time.
Unbelievably his 4th places actually benefited someone for once.
Him and Badel both finished on the same points with the same amount of wins,seconds and thirds but because he managed two 4th places,no points in the jockey challenge,he wins the jockey challenge.

Moriera back in town and  he already in the winners enclosure after race 1, the muppets time at the top looks to have ended 

Now that the season is finished..... Wednesday Happy Valley last meeting....and Purton winning yet again,I have come across two interesting stats which show just how good he really is.
Firstly jockeys by market expectations....
Purton lies 3rd to last in that with just two other jockeys riding there worse than him.
Moreira,who also rides plenty favourites,is 5th.Shows how badly he lets punters down.
Secondly jockeys from widest draws,draw 8 or worse,Purton is 14th.
Skill level mediocre at best

 

Correct Durbs,just to add to your view ,Purton and Moreira love inside draws with hot pot favourites.Just check how often they manage to get boxed for a run and casually ease their horse .
