I also feel he is over rated and has developed a swollen head...

Really like Callan Murray but IMHO especially the young jocks travel too much these days between centers.

I don't mind if young jocks go and ride horses in other centers on big days but this week in and week our travel to the corners of SA is not for me, I'll rather take a bet on the "ou toppies" when I know they are fresh and not burnt out.

I have never once saw or heard about him acting anyway but polite and level headed

Lovely young guy

He was over-confident, we shouldn’t have lost. He
came back pale as a ghost and I let him have it!
“He’s a young jockey though, this is how they learn
and if he doesn’t get time from the stipes, he will get
time from me.
Jockeys are paid to keep their heads
down and win, not for antics. Punters hate this. But
the sooner this happened for Callan, the better. It’s
out of the way now, he won’t do it again.

Mr Hawaii, has MDK given him time off?

Taken from Turf Talk News!!!!

If Delpech was on would never ever have happened

He knows he made a mistake and no need to give him more crap but he got off with a warning for that ride and I was just wondering what type of punishment he would have got in HK or Singapore?

He should have got more than a warning...Why slap Semela with a 90 day ban and Callan only gets a warning. No consistency...

:dry: One of them admitted that he deliberately went against trainers riding instructions. Guess which one? And then what do you think should be the resultant sanction? IMO, based purely on the stated facts of the case , he got off lightly.

Callan not on any MDK horses. Is he "getting time" from the boss?
