I did not want to post this but since you believe that Moore is just a jockey who can only win on maidens please take the time and read his achievements in all the huge races around the world. The amount of times that he has won each particular race is in brackets. Moore has won more Group 1 races in different countries then your man has won on SA tracks. Once you have read the below you will be excused for blushing and your humble reply will be appreciated.

The closest Marcus will come to Moore is being his kitboy :lol: :lol: :lol:

As Muis Roberts proved by winning the english championship in a canter all those years ago , english jocks are average and overrated , Moore would battle to make top 5 in this country

Chicken after reading Moore's accomplishments , u can only draw one conclusion , geez he has ridden a lot of pointers in his time :whistle:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Clutching on straws now I see. An analogy of what you said about Roberts winning the championship, once upon a time you could pull a bird, but now?

Would that be a chicken ??

Welcome back @cnc

Craig, I have to agree with you bud on this one. He would not make our top 5 in SA as I feel the sun would burn his "pink arse" to a frazzle and he would be to eina to sit in the saddle let alone ride. :silly:

Neigh , Its great to have knowledgeable racing people agreeing with reason . Unlike a certain one eyed poster who waits patiently all week for Greyville Friday nights so he can have a go at the champ :sick:

I see CnC's beloved Stormers are in disarray with the sponsor's threatening to pull out and player's going on strike.

I have it from a reliable source that Chicken no longer supports the Stormers and is now a Sharks supporter :woohoo:

Deep down you all know that Moore is the one jockey that you will have if he were to ride for your life. Neigh he rides in the middle of summer in the US and Australia, so I dont think that the sunshine in SA will bother him. What will bother him if he does ride there is that he will make every other jockey look Z Grade. In fact i will go further and that is if he did ride there the horses in the race will all decide to go and sit in the stands to watch a master at work as even the horses all around the world talk about how good he is.
