JACKADORE.........There should be an investigation into...................

Stipes report...........................

Jockey P.Strydom reported that Jackodore took no interest in running, The Vet was requested to examine this horse, reported not striding out right front.

To repeat jockey P. Strydom after winning the 2nd race made reference to Weekend Special in a bullish manner, however his reports on Jackodore were not overly confident and reading between the lines, it was obvious she was going to have an off day.(td)

Yet little / no movement on betting from open to off...

The question remains, why was JOCKEY P.STRYDOM NOT CONFIDENT THAT GIVEN THE CONDITIONS OF THE RACE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT HER MERIT RATING AND ABILITY ON THE SURFACE INCLUDING A DECENT DRAW, JACKODORE WAS NOT GOING TO BLOW AWAY THAT LOT???:S

It's worthless commenting on this because they do what they want when they want.SA racing is becoming a farce as we can see by all the carryovers in the pick 6.EVERYONE involved at gold circle and phumelela should be sent packing and start from scratch and start buildind our racing up to what it was.We going downhill very fast and we can't even watch overseas racing if we wish to ditch our local crap.Bottom line is they could not give a s**t about the people who keep them in business.

I have heard the same comments from the said jockey a few times before and the horse was unplaced (normally the fav). Therefor I am very careful of him on a favourite. Enough said.

Stryker seems to have covered his ass pretty smartly, in his citizen post, 2 Saturdays ago.

I found his comments strange, in that he brought up the topic about a horse suddenly under performing versus previous rides.

Strykers performance of late, is simply baffling. He is the type of jockey who can single handledly influence P6 payouts.

and how does it help the punters with interviews anyway if we only normally see them on replays in the evening or on some silly loop and some unpredictable time

These days where there is no 'international racing' to interrupt - we do see the interviews 'live'

I'm not sure of the reason for her poor run but if she pulled not striding perhaps the Vets should double check on the first three in the betting (I know they do check all the horses) just to ensure punters are protected. Maybe at the start before loading the first three fancies are singled out and checked again while Teletrack pans on them so that punters can be protected?

Dick Francis would be proud of us

I watched the race today and imo the horse stopped , imo no fault of striker

Jackodore beating Silent Force conceding 10-50kgs.
