2017 Bumper

The form might be as good as anything but if you were serious about winning you wouldn't put Kate Harrington up.

A massive negative for me. Someday will have to be much the best horse to win with her onboard
 
I think it is of some interest that they are trying again with West Coast Time. He looked all at sea last time but at least this time they have a proper jockey on board. Not out of the question that he could find a few lengths for stronger handling and a little more experience. This looks a below average renewal and it is hard to that confident about any of them.
 
Anyone else heard P Mullins has been jockeyed off of Carter McKay? Owners want their own man (assume Oisin takes the ride)

I think there was a drift on the exchanges, that could be the cause
 
Anything in the druft for Carter Mckay today? Matched at 9s?
 
Oisin hardly a negative versus Patrick - be more concerned something happened on the way over if there was a drift.
 
I'd expect Carter to shorten if Oisin got the ride!

Don't waste your time lads. Western Ryder wins.
 
yes you do ryan and i really hope they all come in for you. i want to see someone nail it good.

Cheers mate, hopefully Western Ryder can win for the forum
 
Dead nervous - I'm having to present during the race, all I'm going to be thinking about is the Ryder.

Makes the festival if it goes in
 
Ok.

Lets go Western Ryder. Lets do it for all the Fat Jockey boys!!!
 
Was never happy with his position.

Absolutely top drawer ride from Jamie Codd
