Timmy Murphy

Big Daddy Cool

now before i post this, i am talking out of my pocket as well as been a big fan of his, but the ride he just gave tamarinbleu at haydock was one of the best rides ive seen a jockey give a horse in quite a while. carrying 11st 12lbs in bottom less ground he just sneaked the horse into the race and got it up with 50 yards or less to the line. absolutely brilliant.

one of my favourite jockeys out there, would love to see him on Long Run tbh, he settles a horse so well and can get a horse into contention without them even knowing they are in a race

yeah i became a fan of his when he beat kicking king at fairyhouse a good few years ago now, cruised up along side on hi cloy and seemed to look at barry geraghty before just skooting away from him.

Didn't see the race you're talking about here but his ride on Great Endeavour in the Hennessy was as good as you'll see too

Nursed the horse around to preserve stamina, produced him entering the straight to go & win the race but his stamina just gave out

yeah forgot about that, think i said the same as u after it, i'd giving up on him halfway way round that day, hope he produces the goods again on bold ransom now at haydock.

another winner for him, 3m 4f and never came of the bridal .

When I saw the line ''I'm talking out of my pocket here'' I thought you were about to give him a bollocking

ha well if i were using that line and paul carberry was the headline, a bollicking usually follows, but thanks to murphy ive 3 out of 4 in a lucky 15, the 4th horse is a nicholls horse called the reformer at 4 in taunton.

Carberry and Murphy are very similar in fact, its just Carberry's riding stlye highlights it more and he always seems to have loads of horse under him which isnt always the case

well more often then not when i back a horse with carberry on board, i find he has the best horse under him yet manages to get beat by a fast finishing half a length or less so i tend now to stay away from him.

If i had a novice chaser who needed experiance then Timmy is the 1st person i would look to, ahead of any jockey i have ever seen

Hes weak as a kitten in a finish though.

I was watching that race today in my local bookies and the screams of 'Murphy ya muppet', 'Wa**er', 'Doesn't have a clue' etc where coming from all angles of the bookies by all the usual big mouths and then he comes after the last to win comfortably in the end and then there calling it a cracking ride:rolleyes: Hate them fools in bookies like that, talking through there pocket haven't a clue what these lads do for basically our enjoyment:mad:

The best ride i ever seen him give was a Ferdy Murphy horse last year Poker de Sivola. Struggling last more than a mile out but just kept at him and eventually picked them up with about 100yards to go it was brilliant stuff from Murphy and it was similiar if not better than McCoy on Wichita Lineman.

he was'nt weak beating McCoy in a driving finish before christmas at ascot when he was on water garden, nice win for him in the bumper on swing bowler at warwick today, looks a nice horse, and was very unlucky on glens boy earlier on the card.

He was a great jockey a few years back, and as somebody mentioned already, he's a great lad to have on a novice chaser as he always produces his horses on a perfect stride to a fence. However, he has gone off the boil in the last few years. There's a reason he's no longer getting the big rides he used to, and that's not all down to the horses DJ is buying. There are a good dozen plus jockeys id take ahead
of him these days, especially over hurdles

I think he's one of the most overrated jockeys going.I wont back a horse that he's riding.

What are peoples few on the farce of a finish he produced on glens boy yesterday, when the loose horse got in his way on the finish line?

ah in fairness now, you can hardly blame murphy there, when your head is down in a driving finish, the last thing you would expect is a loose horse to run straight across the finishing line when your maybe 10 yards from it
