Another AW bites the dust.

Ling 1520 Laurentia

just because somebody said he'd put all his winnings on it

I agree that Ryan Moore is possibly even better than the Jockey first employed by Ballydoyle.

I remember on another Tangovictoriaindia argued that top Sportspeope don't do confidence. They just have it.

I am not so sure. One case example is Marcus Rashford who looked a bit forlorn under previous United Managers and is finally stepping up his development.

Ryan Moore looked in the wilderness for a couple of years where he didn't seem to trust his own judgement and seemed waiting to be judged by others.

He seems totally switched off from pressure this year like he no longer care.

Everbody in my Bookies now like him and there is no higher praise.

Punters in bookies are the sternest critics. If you have three up in your yankee and the jockey lets you down in the final leg he or she will get the dog's abuse. You are only as good as your last ride and since Ryan's last ride is usually a good one, he is OK with the bookies brethren.

I often wonder which of the Ballydoyle jockeys gives the most useful feedback on the gallops? Lester was probably the least informative of all time. When Ryan said how many runs it would take to get Mogul properly race fit he was absolutely spot on.

Cyclamen got fogged off in the end. You need excellent visibility to play lacrosse as it's a dangerous game. She will be back at the next meeting with her St Trinian's gals.
