Bryony Frost

What a ride, what a race. Success breeds success, we all know that, but she has a level of ability and talent on display which is heartening!

What a good girl! :)

she is a very neat,tidy and balanced rider who does not unbalance the horse in the latter stages of the race, and maintains her body position up to the finishing line
 
I have an extemely vague and distant connection to the owner of Present Man. His brother-in-law said Bryony just rides round the course as though she is enjoying a days hunting, so the horses love it and go really well for her.

But Alec, you don't even think she should be out there! She should be at home knitting, or similar.

Present Man is such a lovely horse. Very easy to do, with a very kind gentle nature. Love him!
Equally, i'll admire Bryony's riding for the rest of my days. There is something special about her.
 
I think there is proof somewhere that women can endure pain and have higher pain thresholds than men (due to having to endure child birth) so as regards the injury agrument I think she will do just as well as any males jockeys. I know a LOT of jockeys that are male andh avehad a bad injury and not gone back to racing. Think its a statistics thing, there are obviously more men than women so you will see more men going back after injury etc etc....
Also as EKW said the sexism is still soooo common in racing that a lot of female jockeys will get sick of it and do something else. Then there is the whole maternity thing.

Also poor Norway.... I like Norway.
.... Vikings had both male and female warriors... maybe its not such a cultural shock to see women fighting?
 
Another big win for Bryony and Black Corton. She rode a very tactically astute race and she sits quietly and let's them jump for her. Impressed. I think they are a fair price for the RSA.
 
They were amazing. I don't bet but may just have a fiver on BC for the RSA so I can shout even louder.

Wasn't Cue Card fantastic, too? Belied his age and jumped like a buck.
 
I have to say I am getting annoyed at the media all going on about Cue Card - coming 2nd! He was beaten fair and square by a very promising young horse who is now trained by Ruth who laid her father to rest just 24 hours before the race. The Jefferson's are a Northern racing family through and through and they have kept going as well as ever despite a very hard few weeks for them where it would have been easier to pull the plug and have some quiet time for a month or so.
 
They did say a lot about the Jeffersons EKW also at the beginning of the programme. Alice went on about ‘wonderful ‘ Cue Card then Mick Fitz talked about the Jeffersons and said there would not be a dry eye in the house if their horse won.
Cue Card over the years has been many people’s favourite although for some reason never mine. I am not that keen on Paddy Brennan, perhaps that’s why!

Agree with this. I do hope they don't run him in the GC though - such an honest horse, why would he manage it at his age when he hasn't the last two times?
 
I am surprised at myself.....but I rather hope he does run in the Gold Cup! I think getting taken off him was the best thing that ever happened in regards to Paddy Brennan, because he rode him so beautifully and positively on Saturday. I'd love him to just get round - and who knows, it's a wide open race isn't it? He's won there before! (and after Cheltenham I hope they retire him. One less racehorse to stress about!)
