    1.Philip Hide (always makes you think your Horse is travelling and is absolutely hopeless at the finish of a race)

    2.Joe Tizzard (gangley awkward Jockey who wouldn't see a stride if it jumped up and bit him)

    Anybody want to add on/disagree?.

    Christian Williams, makes the simple things that Ruby can do look very difficult.

    Your money is never safe.

    I'm not a great Christian Williams fan either, but in his defence he gave Napolitain a cracking ride on Saturday.

    The one jockey I avoid at all costs is Shay Barry, cannot believe he gets some of the rides he does, he seems to be asleep half the time during races.

    agreed Chrstian Williams & his 'All action style' can be really frustrating, gets the horse goin a fair pace but its all over the track, has major problem keeping some horses running in a straight line, instead horse will run like a rudderless battleship(side to side) in the run in. Example >Chirizo bout 2 Sats ago finished meandering 2nd, straight running horse =1st.

    also......

    P Carbury. :O

    controversial choice, wins a lot but several rides stick out in memory.... has the horse in winning position and then stops/ eases off..or tracks leaders, sees them goin for home....and lets them go. Good but and also dodgy.

    would not get on horse if Carbury booked and better options available.

    A year or so ago and I would have been up in arms if someone posted the above but I have to say that he's becoming increasingly casual in his race-riding and I have found myself saying "why's he just sitting there as the race
    unfolds around him".

    While the fact of him riding one wouldn't stop me backing it, I don't rate him nearly as highly as I once did.
