it looks like he has been blackballed. only recently he was getting almost a full book at all meetings. now i have noticed he is getting very few rides from established metro stables. on sunday i think he only had 1 ride. is he getting lazy or what?

    He didn't look real lazy when he gave Pike windburn in race 4 at Northam.

    always the way, thunder.... ;)
    i never said anything about his riding ability just that he is not getting the rides he did only a month or two back.
    when that happens there is always a reason...maybe its too hard to get out of the cot these cold mornings...remember he's not used to the cold.

    Nah i know you didn't one could argue he owes you a beer or 4.Unsure whats happening in regards to a lack of rides with him maybe needs a new guy pushing his barrow as it where, are you free?

    At a pure guess away from Nev's with a mate or two you would think.

You could Not be More Wrong the young bloke is always one of the last to leave track work in the mornings

    Do jockeys still go to the track? I thought they did not go.

    Well then Manchild he must use a trackwork rider every morning. I am thinking if so he must be a small or parttime trainer. Most of the bigger stables who use trackwork riders would pay them a wage or retainer . Just out of interest how much a morning?

    $20 a ride for a trackwork rider (usually not jockeys)

    but if linked to a stable they may not get the $20 but receive race day rides or are at the top of the list of jocks to pick
