i am by no means saying shes the best rider in the world LOL, but by god everything in the threat was negative about her and why? gambling losses

You don't need to lose your money to know somebody can't ride.

Did you watch the race this thread was started about? If not, I suggest you do.

most of the time people complain about riders here or are critical its because of money lost. according to brooklyn crackhead(tracker) jerry bailey was the worst jockey alive LMFAO! others also claimed near the end he was no longer the best, laughable considering he had the best% on the circuit

Most of the bad rides and bad trips most people notice involve horses they bet on...it's natural. Sometimes, however, those gripes are actually legitimate. Watch the 8th race from Belmont today and watch Chantal's ride on the rail horse. It's embarrassingly bad.

She's inept....today was not an isolated incident.

Obviously Playa you didn't see the ride in question.
I am so TIRED of morons who didn't see a race or races chiming in with their "thoughts" about something as if anyone who didn't see the race or event in question could possibly have thoughts.
Here's a hint, if you didn't see the event in question, shut up.

Shes completely incompetent and at some point will hurt herself or someone else out there. Shes a disgrace.

i did see the race mike and you are out of line. i see you still got the high and mighty mentality. i basically commented on the thread because every single thing was negative professionally and personally

How could anyone defend that ride Playa?

i wasnt defending the particular ride

then perhaps you chose the wrong thread to defend her then, by the way she stinks, and most of us here don't worship these little oompa loompas.

I always found the oompa loompas to be admirable. I think you do THEM a disservice by in any way associating them with jockeys.

why does she warrant a personal attack in here, the person who did so i believe did it outta jealousy

I beg to differ, Mike. He had every right to post something. And IMO, his original assumption was right.

I hope you are not referring to me?

If not...who is jealous and why?

Playa,
I watch every race every day, and she stinks. Plain and simple.
She might be a very nice person, a real gem, but we are talking about her riding ability right now and she stinks in that department. I still don't hear any argument to that.

maybe he means me... which makes me LMAO

Maybe he thinks you have the hots for Mike Smith???

Other than that i just see a jockey worshipper defending an incompetent rider for a dreadful ride.

Well, I'm jealous of the wench. I'd freaking kill to weigh what she does! :eek: :D

not me...not the way a jock does it.

I can't find the supposed " personal attacks ".

I mean, obviously paisjpq is jealous of Chantal, but otherwise I think Mike hit it on the head. I must be jealous of Mike Smith.

I have always wanted to go eight wide.
