Which flat jockey would you get for your Group 1 horse?
Moved some posts from the J O'B thread to here as they're better suited in a new thread.

He was like a spoilt child after the race, think he was crying. Giving out about something, I think it was that he didn't get a clear run or something, even though the video shows that Pour Moi came from further back and followed the exact route he took.
I was delighted he got beat in the Irish Derby. As I said here numerous times before the race, I couldn't believe that Treasure Beach was such a big price |

Although I remember Pat Eddery objecting to Christy Roche when he got beat a short head on El Gran Senor in the 84 Derby. No grounds whatsoever for the objection, the stewards werent even holding an inquiry but he did it anyway. The impression was that Eddery couldnt believe what had just happened - similar to Moore. |

The one, the only, Mr Kieren Fallon, the jockey with ice in his veins! If he's good enough to be John Magnier's fav jockey then he'll do for me!
After seeing Mick Kinane on American Trilogy at Aintree I'd have him as my back up even it it meant him putting up a stone overweight ![]() After that it's Murtagh but he'd be warned that any of this blessing himself and acting the dick after the race when we won would result in him being jocked off! |

Depends on the type of horse. Hughes is very under-rated from the front, Spencer from the back. Peslier for his experience.
But Kinane was the safest pair of hands in Group 1s. His mistakes over the years in Group 1s can be counted on one hand which is amazing. Swinburn was the same. Terrible in some of his day to day riding, but brilliant on the big stage. |
