david1111 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I think it's probably time. He's a great jockey and had a fabulous career, but he's definitely lost his edge which you would expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacko Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 It would be unwise to write off Frankie boy, hope this news spurs him on to prove his doubters wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's natural progression. Frankie is 51 now. You can't ride at the top of the game forever. Holly Doyle will be a great replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The look of dejection on Frankies face after Stradivarius defeat tells us his heart is still 100% in the game, it will take a helluva lot more than Hollie Doyle to replace that guy in the saddle.

In Lester's day I don't think the jockeys were as fit as they are now. I've noticed a decline in frankie especially in a finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee man is still fit as a flea and will have no problems booking rides for other trainers where the Italian stallion will prove his doubters wrong..fuck John Gosden. p.s. Hasn’t Stradivarius been a wee bit tricky in the past?, I think Gosdens Sons criticism should have been delivered privately imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the thady criticism, but yes that should always be done privately. He may well ride loads more winners, just my own opinion with what I've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacko Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Go on Frankie, 1 ride today and he delivers, the recent criticism has probably turned the clock back 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
