At the moment, you could lay all of his mounts and make a healthy profit, what makes it worse is that he will most likely be champion this year while Ryan Moore is still injured - now he is a proper jockey, non of this stylish larking about, he just gets the job done.
didnt get to see any of Windsor tonight.... i suppose i feel for punters as you see him so often on a horse thinking he's brilliant and expects the horse to quicken up instantly and gain 2L.. very few horses can do it..

I remember last year at Royal Ascot, he was getting alot of praise for being top jockey (well by the BBC!) but he had so many good mounts that he put into horrible positions and had a fair few 2nds that he should have won. Hoh Mike was one of the more obvious ones..
