Top stuff, really great to see him riding with such confidence.

I found the heading rather strange?
Have always regarded Anthony with the top jocks here and overseas and would be over the moon if he was riding a horse for me

Rather negative thread heading

5 wins from 6 rides tonight. Top class

I do not recall reading anything negative about Delpech and his ability prior to tonight's performance. Attention seeking at its best imvho.

I believe what the gentleman is trying to stipulate is simply that considering the amount of posts IRO Striker and Marcus being the absolute, super fantastic, undeniable gods of SA racing seen over and over again, Delpech has somewhat sunk beneath the limelight, perhaps misconstrued with the fact that none or very little negative criticism has actually been posted here on ABC about Delpech.

The author can be forgiven for believing that my first sentiment stands true for many on here.

Attention seeking at it's best... Well usually the professionals know what signs to look for.

He has had 99 rides since returning from injury

31 winners
11 seconds
18 thirds
11 forths
10 fifths

81/99 stake earning rides

was he really trying on the other 18 rides???

For me he is a good jock but he's not in the same league as Striker or Superman
Last night on Libertine if you watch Anton he held Delpech on the fence and made him switch around him which nearly cost Delpech the race, when quite clearly he was on the better horse on the night
A perfect example that the best ride doesn't always win the race

critic
ˈkrɪtɪk/Submit

a person who expresses an unfavourable opinion of something.
"critics of the new legislation say it is too broad"
synonyms: detractor, censurer, attacker, fault-finder, carper, backbiter, caviller, reviler, vilifier, traducer, disparager, denigrator, deprecator, belittler

I don't see any of that prior to his post.

Stick to my sensationalism/attention seeking view. This has nothing to do about who he rates or doesn't.
