Davashan, while there are some jocks that I will not back for those very reasons, my very honest opinion is that Delpach is one of the most honest, professional, and hard working jocks around. I don't think twice if he is sitting on a horse with good form

Naturally, he does not win ALL the time.

Jackadore (Striker) cost me a bundle on Saturday. I apportioned no blame to the jock. Enjoy your winners and accept your losses bud.

Good day folks, new to the site( first time) but been following for years. IMO, devashan got it wrong. Both horses are progressive with alot of scope, however, RZW was beaten by over 5 lengths when they last met, hence with improvement and experience, RZW will get closer to wind trip, which is exactly what happened. Bar any misfortune or wind trip not putting his best hoof forward, there was no way that RZW could have beaten wind trip this time around.
Secondly, the imeddiate response to his posting was not required.

My New Years resolution is to find a wife and make Titch my best man ().

Well said Titch (tu) Swearing on this site should BANNED

Respect other peoples views !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gg, respect other peoples views when they are calling one of the best and most respected jockeys around a crook/thief/dishonest? I think not.

So somebody anonymously pops onto a forum and without a shred of evidence accuses a jockey of riding for second,and you believe we should RESPECT that type of view/opinion.

RACISM is an opinion................should we respect that too??????

Opinions need to pass the test of reasonableness before earning respect surely!

The horse was never on the inside was the widest runner on the straight. Dont know where Devashan got that from. clearly following the wrong horse
