Don't know if you watched the dettori documentary, but one thing he said which struck a chord was that with all his successes he didn't have time to actually enjoy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an interesting watch. He had his problems but got over them. God knows how he survived that crash though. Obviously not his time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just never know Getting caught with the drugs and alchohol might be "daft boyishness" or it might be something more, he's probably doing the right thing, if you can take a break do your penance or at least be seen to be doing it and don't reoffend then he has a stellar career ahead of him - as long as he realises this.

Sounds like he was up for a disciplinary over several incidents including 2 over the limit tests and he has also misled the BHA and it was agreed that the process would be stopped so he can get help. Hopefully he will get himself sorted as there have been too many jockeys over recent times who have had similar problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmh91 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 66/1 is probably about right although if the horse takes well to hurdles and with a confident ride I’m hoping for some grit from him. Not hugely disappointing in the last few rides with a few goin on to win namely Mot a mot and onagatheringstorm. I’ll be going with hills extra places both as singles and a little double. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacko Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 As much as I hate national hunt racing Barry Gerraty was very sweet on the chances of Jonbon in the 2.20 Ascot, sitting at 10/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stuck a tenner on at 11/8, good bit ahead on ratings but has never placed once in it's 3 runs at Ascot which is a negative. Also worried about the Skelton horse Faivoir, usually not the most fluent jumper but they always seem to commit their runners to going all out for home 3-4 out and they either make it easily enough or they don't.

Nice hit lad well done , word to the wise though.. risking 15% of ur betting bank on a novice chase could have ended badly, ur horse won well but could have been took out early in the race. Anyway buy yourself something nice with your winnings hardman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
