Radio Kerry

[Garney]

tuned in on the net as I have a sizeable bet on Magic Mark in the 4.30 at Tralee - just in time to catch the end of an interview with a jockey who was returning to Ireland and was promoting himself, looking for rides etc - he was able to ride both flat and National hunt.

Interviewer: what weight can you do on the flat?
Jockey: 8 stone 7
Interviewer: And over National Hunt??

Good God.

Unbelievable . Sorry about the result Garney . I had it in a few combinations . Shame we couldn't see the race . I still don't know why it ran so poorly

 

[Irish Stamp]

Maybe he eats more in winter so his weight goes up 3 stone?

:lol: Excellent, Garney! Well worthy of a 'Radio Bloopers' slot.

Would it not be logical for him to let his weight rise when riding over jumps (less dead weight) and then lose it when riding on the flat?
