its a common theme on these sites. a horse loses and its the jockeys fault (ESPECIALLY CHALK). forget about the horses talent or its training which is about 95% of the races result, its always the jockey! every week some big fav loses and its garaunteed there will be a thread blaming the ride. the guy (girl) weighs a hundred and something wet and the horse weighs half a ton but folks think these people are driving cars with steering wheels and gas pedals. forget the fact that things happen in a race that are unpredictable(the wood yesterday) or the horse just is not trained enough to do the right thing. but heres the most important factor, your chalk eating pic just was not good enough on the day of the race. its a game, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. get on a horse and ride a race, come back and tell me how easy it was to win ! that takes alot more balls then coming on here and crying about the ride.
