Other Night
STRIKE / STRIKE / STRIKE / STRIKE

Today
STRIKE / STRIKE

More to come I reckon from STRIKER!!!!!!

I had both jocs on a number of my horses and if I had to choose, anytime Marcus. 2nd will be Striker.

They both excellent jocks, best by far in SA....(tu)

I do not like to try compare the jock's, Striker on a good spell and glad for him as the price of nappies have gone up a hell of a lot since those days. Keep it up and well done on your success this week(tu)

Shoo the days of washing cloth nappies are gone <

We have a few world class jockeys riding here at the moment. All of Anton, Anthony,Pierre,Waichong are right up there with the best and a few others are not too far behind.

another great asset striker has is he doesnt cut horses in half in fact i cannot recall a time that he has been charged for excessive use of the whip while the same cannot be said about a few other top riders...you have a horse the next morning who has eaten up not one that has fallen away and cowers in the corner with whip marks...

Actually very good point Pirates - Striker is on record as saying he feels you discourage a horse to give its best when you get stuck into it.

His name shouldn't be striker dn.lol..
Just joking

Striker like Andrew F. More balance etc than power.

Striker is a natural. Horses run for him, and he judges pace fantastically well. He has been riding like a demon since the unfortunately late Denzarox broke his jaw for him and he made his comeback winning the Queen's Plate with a phenomenal ride on Gimmethegreenlight.
