munce

i think c.brown is harsh to be in here on other comments. although when he is out of form i wouldnt let him ride my bike, when he is in good touch he will win on anything

mcevoy does get some great rides every midweek and metro meets and struggles to get them to place. when it comes to big race riding though he is very good. hard to be bad in those races with the calibre of the darley team

melbourne apprentices are going to be top class imo. melham, stackhouse, noonan, etc. must be something about melbourne because these jockeys come from other places and ride very well. noske was the same when he went to p.moody a couple years back. j.maskiell also will be good if he gets his life in order

cant go past nolen
oliver has lost it this season. all credit to him though with what he has lost and damaged in the past

Gatt
Bannon
McEvoy

Rating Galloway this year in Qld.

Gatt and McEvoy for me .. Katsidis used to bomb several good rides also, but then he could regularly get unfancied runners home.

Dunn is one that is always touted by the experts as being a very good jockey, but he doesn't win out of turn in the JC's.

Ben Claridge is a favourite of mine although it must be getting close to a year since I can recall him having regular rides and Josh Parr is another favourite.

Lindop

Lindop, especially when riding at Oakbank.. i swear she is scared when she rides there. cost me a fortune 1 easter saturday a few years ago.. She was riding deadset favs, leading by 2-3 lengths just before turning to come down the hill and ending up being 6th by the straight.

Let her know about it after 1 race as they came back around by the 1100m mark on the warm down..

Yes Lindop would be up there.

Paul Marks also

[WestIndiesWonder24]

Fav Jock GREG RYAN
Always Delivers.... Dead set wonder why he doesnt ride regularly against the best riders in sydney.

[JK]

Geez Jason Collett has been in some white hot form of late, proving to be a fantastic little jock

[Reverse Torp]

Would like to add jim byrne to the "best jockeys" list. He very rarely lets you down and rides some value winners. Champion

[ORDoubleBlues]

Lindop - don't think she's terrible but feel sorry for her that certain sections of the media hype her up so much because let's face it, if she was rated on a national level, she wouldn't still be here.

Michael Rodd - used to be a fan



Underated:

Chris Munce
Kathy O'Hara
Glyn Schofield

The best jockey to grace Australian Turf.........Kevin Moses!!

[helicopterking]

Mitchell Speers, $1.70 fav last weeks jockey challenge, 1 point
Sunday was also a disgrace,i think maybe 4 points,!
Total 10 rides for 5 points, 6 favs
Will only ever be an apprentice!

I would have to agree with that and so do many punters

Was an article on front page of Friday's Advertiser stating that Lindop was the first female to ride in Melbourne Cup when in fact she was only about the 6th and that was 15 years after the first.

I think you will find she was the first Australian female jockey to ride in the cup

My apologies on both counts as she was only the 3rd female jockey - that'll teach me for not googling - and after reading article again, I'm pretty sure he mean'g 'Australian jockey'
