    IF being the word. My aunt balls and all that. Remember the ride he gave rewilding in ascot when he rode a certain ryan moore to sleep or snow fairy in leopardstown or ravens pass in the breders cup classic ... the list goes on. Isnt frankie the ONLY european based jockey to ride the breeders cup classic winner ? What a ****ing jockey

    You may not like Micks stats but they are what they are. and they support what I've said several times. Frankie Dettori and Saeed bin Suorr have drastically under perform despite having top shelf stock. Mick was given top shelf stock consistently for only 6 years and rode the same 1 Epsom Derby winner that Frankie rode for his entire career and he doubled up Frankie in the Irish derby with 2 wins to Frankies 1 in his career. In just 6 years Mick topped or equaled Frankie in several categories. If you want to go the Breeders cup stats we can go there also. while it is true that Frankie is the only European based jockey to win the Breeders cup classic. Mick is the only jockey in the history of the Breeders Cup to win North Americas richest turf race The Breeders Cup Turf Back to Back When He did it with High Chaparral

    You never address the point and refer to the pitman sorry irish derby and english derby as if anyone outside of these islands gives a ****. You referred to turf racing in the states as rubbish in other threads but now its great. Remind how many times frankie won that parrticular race ? .as before same as my question with the arc you will not answer . <snip>

    WOW a bit upset are we ? I did address your Arc question You Praised Frankie and I said Lester was better and as far as the Breeders Cup turf. there was a time when that race was competitive. Kalanisi,Daylami,High Chaparral and conduit among its winners.

    this tit for tat is getting childish now

    I asked two pages ago for this nonsense to stop and to debate without resorting to digs.

    Final warning. Next person gets infracted or banned depending on the severity of it.

    Group 1 double for frankie today. First ride was classic frankie


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,233 ✭✭✭paddyisreal


    Another group 1 again today in his twilight years and what a ride.

    Must be bittersweet considering he lost out on back to back arcs. Would have cemented his legacy for sure

    Welcome back lanfranco


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭madmoose


    When the pressures off hes different class, think the bigger rides for his new owners put pressure on him in recent years and that camelot ride etc but hes like a free lance the way hes riding at the moment and flying.

    When Frankie did celebrity big brother you would have been forgiven for thinking racing no longer motivated him. Fair play to him for finding the spark again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Shemale


    Sick of looking at the self serving coke head, usless prick promoting himself and getting his annoying mug in national hunt.

    I bred Dodging Bullets, well ****ing done, was your plan to use a £125,000 stallion to get a chaser.

    What spark? He is an irritating little wannabe comedian,who is not in the least bit funny.I,m sick of hearing him being interviewed and him thinking he is a "character". Decent jockey,but that's about it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭NaiveMelodies


    Good to see him ride a few winners, might get lucky and add a few big races to his CV this season all going well.

    He's had a hugely positive impact on racing in terms of adding a bit of colour and winning over new fans.
    Of course he's in your face and is self serving(what jockey isn't self serving???!?!?) but he's a character and racing needs characters.
    He's much better off riding after a few lines of cocaine than riding with litre of whiskey in his system so I'm not going to judge him on that offence.

    Well, he is on fire and Gosden wont worry too much if Buick doesn't ride for him as much.

    See Fallon is knocking in a few races at lower levels too

    It would be nice if either of them have a Johnny Murtagh kind of a year as per 2013. Think Fallon had his shot when he got the Goldolpin call
