Yes Roman...there's a blast from the past. " More Outs Than Jimmy Courtney"

If my memory serves me correct I think he had 147 consecutive metro
non-winning rides before breaking the drought on a horse named Hoylake in
the last at Moonee Valley one day.

Gee Len that's the longest string on any bow I have ever seen.
  We have to assume your comments are based on some personal happenings and
you are therefore extrapolating!!!
I will admit behind every good man there's a good woman, as I am told almost
daily, (must mean I am a good man) but this was not the case with JC in the
mathematical sense. If Ken B is reading this there was a saying from our
group of desperates, he will verify,  that Rider X had more runs of outs
than Jimmy Courtney!! I cannot remember the figure of outs exactly but it
was indicative of a guy who rode few winners in town.

An alternative possibility - JC was joint top apprentice with HWhite,
success went to his head (hello Ms Payne) then got a bit wild/distracted and
that showed in his riding. Would hardly be the first young man to so do.

He then got engaged, then married, "saw the light", settled down and became
a top jockey. Again, would hardly be the first young man to have the
responsibility of marriage return his nose to the grindstone.

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
