    Also I imagine Aurora's E is reffering to Soumillons use of the whip on thunder snow. About 18 times in the last 2f with absolutely zero time given to respond on some. He'd have got a month off here for that.

    When in Rome....
    All joking Aside Soumillon would usually Be one of the more sensitive riders and unlikely to give a Horse a flogging.
    Id say He watched some of the races from Friday and got carried away
    After what He watched. Some of the Americans are butchers altogether.

    Incorrect. I’m pointing to your weekly criticism of jockey rides when you’ve lost money.

    Nice (failed) attempt to change tack

    Soumillons is a great jockey no doubt. But that was absolutely scandalous. The horse wasn't responding to any of the strikes. I suppose the heat of the moment you want to do something but you have to criticize that.

    As for some other comments on jockeys I'd take most of them with a pinch of salt. 90% of people criticizing jockeys have a biased opinion due to be financially invested in them and are incapable of blaming themselves for a bad decision and so someone has to get the blame.

    .


    I was watching it last night on the VR feed and Saeed Bin Suroor was all alone on the rails getting very excited. I'd say that they had huge expectations which is not surprising given Thunder Snow broke the track record when winning the Dubai World Cup earlier this year.

    There was huge pressure on Soumillon. Still no excuse for hitting the horse 18 times in the last furlong or so.

    I’ll drag up your previous posts on jockeys later, they all have a common theme, and are weekly, you bitching about rides and losing money, perhaps you should have made your post a little clearer as it mentions zero about a horse being whipped. Only later when someone second guesses ( rightly or wrongly who knows) what you might be bitching about do you arrive back .

    Anyway hopefully you didn’t lose too much.

    And sure O'Donoughe got the injured Alpha Centrui beaten? Another **** jockey in your own words - so much for concern for an injured horse, eh?

    I think you should take up another sport - not sure your enjoying this one
