So he has won all 9 of his last 12 completed rides. He's been helped by the terrific form of the Sandy Thompson stable (7 of last 10 runners have won) and Mania has a massive level stakes profit over that period given that one of those winners, Large Action (not that Large Action obviously!), won at 25/1 with him on board.
He has one final ride today - Better Be Definite (16/1 available) in the 3.15 Musselburgh (they are running 30 minutes late because of earlier issues but might catch up a bit) for joint trainers Harriet Graham and Gary Rutherford
Tom Scudamore retires from riding immediately .. all the best to him
A good, honest jockey. Staying as number one jockey to David Pipe for virtually his whole career, he never really had a consistently good book of rides to show him at his best.
Soft target for finishing second in a bumper. Wonder if the BHA would do the same to Ryan Moore if he were to commit the same offence on a Derby winner for Coolmore given that they would face the prospect of a legal challenge if only for the reason of the financial implications in terms of not just prize money but stud value too.
The BHA are making a complete and unnecessary mess of the whip situation. Do the BHA really think that the "general public" will care that a whip is being used one or two times less than before? I was at Haydock on Saturday and witnessed a brilliant finish to the second last race, for which Lorcan Williams, on the winner, has now received an 18 day ban, meaning that he will miss Cheltenham. The jockey on the second horse has received an 8 day ban. My abiding memory from the race was the two jockeys congratulating each other, after the line, for a great race and battle to the line. Cheltenham is going to be carnage and I wonder how many horses will end up being disqualified for overuse of the whip.
Sean Quinlan riding the 2/9 favourite, Telhimlisten, in the two runner Sedgefield 1.40, appears to have somehow got unbalanced, after the last and on the run in, to the extent that he has had to dive off the horse. Telhimlisten was matched by the fast finger merchants at 1.01 to £14K and the eventual winner was matched all the way up to 1,000!

Yeah looked a dive to me
He didn't look like he lost an iron but sometimes jockeys dive when they are unbalanced and know that they are going to fall off just to avoid getting tangled up and/or dragged under the horse. It didn't look like the horse veered in a way that a jockey as experienced as Quinlan couldn't handle ether. It's always going to look worse in a two runner race with a massive odds on shot that is 10 lengths clear after the last though.

A nice 13,700 quid payday for whoever put that on.
Gorgeous sunny day and off to Fontwell today. Any tips gratefully received
Not tips but these are horses that I have backed at Fontwell:
2.00 Double Clicked @ 7/2 2.30 Shaws Cross @ 4/1 3.00 Millies Mite @ 10/1 3.30 San Pedro De Senam @ 9/1
Hope you have a great day
Double Click ended my placepot on Race 1 lol
Apologies. Wasn't good enough but really not sure why Gavin Sheehan took the horse on the scenic route when the first two went on the inside all the way round.
The only consolation with going out of the Placepot is that with the first two in the market finishing 1,2 there will have to be some real shocks to pay anything.
