James Goodman

and MDK has some of the best in the world along with him picking bloodstock not Jan Pierrewiet and Al Debo. If I was president of America I would have been far better than Bill Clinton ever was, guaranteed !

They say there ain't much between jockeys if the horse is good enough. So why scramble for Pierre and Anton ? Put the guys down the log on maybe they just as good if not better ?

Pirates my patience at replying to some of these threads is being tried. To listen to some people who have got full cup blinkers on and think they know everything is trying. I wont sit back and have them slate a mate of mine (and me) when they talking crap. No one says Mike is not good but there are reasons why that is and not going to waste my time explaning them here. Unhappy is obviously just that with James so that is between them. Most of the guys he mentioned have still got horses with James anyway. The funny thing is that Mike and James are big mates and am sure Mike would defend James against these people. The horse is they major factor in winning races and the trainer and jockey a minor factor. Until punters and idiots alike realise that they are going to be on a hiding to nothing.

Too true ....but this is a punting forum and they fall in like soldiers.....

Chainsaw correct about MDK. Lets use this example 2 students go to harvard both equaly gifted with daddys money both work just as hard as the other but one finishes 1ST and the other Last, who is the better trainer. Lets take a horse like Igugu if it was with James she would be running in a merrit rated 94 [f m] not in dubai

When I read absolute Shit like the last post it makes me wonder why I post on here. That is absolute rubbish and I am seriously considering just fading into the background and not getting involved in any posts or giving my opinion on anything when I read this. James would without a doubt have won features with that filly. :X

what a load of pish

Craig, we all have opinions. . . . I do not rate James as a trainer. I understand that he is a good horseman but that does not neccessarily translate onto the track. I believe that Los Ramblas for example would have had a different formline in a different yard. My opinion.

Craig don't worry about posts like some of the above some people in this game really think they have all the answers but they actually show their ignorance with ridiculous statements. I for one believe that any of our trainers including you and James would do just as well as the top boys if you had the Oppenheimer / Jooste / Van Niekerk buying power behind you. Just ignore the crap mate and keep posting. The majority of us value your input.

So tell me the Brown stable had decent buying power and how good are they...:S

Thanks Bloodshot. Just annoys the hell out of me when they talk absolute rubbish without thinking and when they know very little. Magi I stand corrected but I am sure she has had a lot of problems.

Craig the point i am trying to make is that MDK is different class nobody is saying that James is a bad horseman but look at Mikes stats it talks for itself you keep on saying that we are slating James on the contrary you not giving Mike the kudos he deserves, he is a great ambasedor for the game wso give credit where its due.
