[AusRace] Everywhere Winona

[Race Stats]

Hi Roman,
Brent Thompson
Michael Clarke
Mick Dittman
Darren Beadman
All owe their success to the leading stables they rode for.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Darren Gauci the youngest apprentice to outright his claim in the city?
But you're only as good as your last few rides, poor Darren was a bit nervous after a number of falls with his brother having a really nasty fall breaking arms and legs.  
Darren retired, he just couldn't get the rides anymore, but one of the nicest blokes you'd ever meet.
Still remember Darren cleaning his saddle and falling through glass doors at his parents' home as an apprentice.

Hi all,
I am with Lindsay. Over the years (make that decades) have seen many
instances of the jockey dropping off the radar if a trainer or trainer drops
them and vice versa. It's really the trainers job to match the horse with an
appropriate jockey, if they have half a brain, if possible. I still cannot
get out of my mind a jockey called Jim Courtney. I think he married into the
CS Hayes family but one year he rode 3 winners in Melbourne and the
following year was the top rider in Adelaide. Rides from CS Hayes, for sure,
made the difference. You could argue the SA jockeys weren't that flash but
that would be nonsense simply because JC by his wins in Vic must have fitted
into the mediocre jockey list.

Hi Tony,
Just my opinion, but the trainers seem more important than the jockeys, if
one looks at the top jockeys, they are riding for the top stables.
If the stable is on fire, makes the jockeys look good and the same can be
said when the stable is struggling (even top stables) due to a myriad of
reasons .

Winona Costin has been busy, in Tasmania for a couple of days recently and
today in NZ, yesterday Kembla (if it was running), and tomorrow in Nowra

She has been on a few by Gai, with success also.

I don't factor in jockeys but do rate them and she is average, which isn't a
bad place, as so many are not when scored off their endeavours which is
directly tied to their mounts I know.

Cheers

Tony
