Kicking King

Geraghty is shite. He's ridden the horse often enough to know that he needs to be left alone. he nearly got him beaten in the king george by jumping up and down on his back.

Anyone who saw Barry in action at Ascot on Saturday will note how ridiculous your comment above is, in particular the enlightening - "Geraghty is shite". He was absolutely outstanding on Roll Along and Riverside Theatre

I have posted below my view on Geraghty from another discussion we had on here about him. He does have talent and he is riding lots of winners at the moment but no doubt he will revert to type when he is most needed.

Motivation was never a factor with Geraghty.

He rides everything as if it's a reluctant partner. Than every now and again he relax's and lets the horse do it's best (KK in the Gold Cup, Slim in the National) and you think there's hope for him before he starts doing the jumping up and down thing again, getting the horses completely unbalanced.... and with the same horses, horses he should know that just need to be steered. There is no consistency to his riding....well 90% sack of spuds, 10% spot on.

His inconsistency and personality have resulted in many bridges being burnt......but hey, everyone deserves a second chance right !
