MUSINGS FROM A RETIRED RACING ENTHUSIAST

MUSINGS FROM A RETIRED RACING ENTHUSIAST
"Crosse's
winter of discontent deserves to come to an end. "
Pic:
"John Upson: quiet spell since Zeta's Lad and Nick The Brief. "
EDNA O'BRIEN once wrote a book called August is a Wicked Month.
She obviously hadn't been paying enough attention in November, or December.
"If O'Brien had been at Wincanton on November 21 she could
have watched a cruel incident. As Foxcub, approached the final hurdle it was
all that stood between jockey Dave
Crosse and victory, Crosse went for it
and Foxcub, veering right, came down.
"Nothing so unusual in that, A horse falls at the last obstacle , the
sufferers groan and count the cost, the beneficiaries donate commiserations,
and time moves heedlessly on. Yet it was a bit more painful than usual, because
it was Crosse's only ride of the day and made it 242 days and 80 rides since
his last winner. Another drive home, more thinking, perhaps a soupcon of
depression, and I hadn't even backed it.
"Crosse, champion amateur jump jockey in 2001-02, is a positive, resilient
character, someone with the great gift of being able to look on the bright
side. In the lively blog he writes for lovetheraces, he wrote: "These
things happen and I was absolutely gutted but you can't let it get you down.
" "I don't know why not. I think I would have.
"As the end of December approached, Cross was still waiting
for his luck to change. At Doncaster on
December 29th, Haatefina, at 20-1, approached the final hurdle clear of her
rivals and still galloping strongly. This was surely it; the day had finally come. Haatefina made a
hash of the last and was caught near the line by Red Four Again, it was
Crosse's only ride. An even longer drive home to Lambourn.
"To look on the bright side, there were no broken bones,
unlike 2009, when Cross managed to break two in the same leg at the same time.
Things perked up on Christmas Day when Crosse's girlfriend Rebecca Greaves
agreed to marry him.
"Today, Crosse goes to Warwick
"Crosse isn't alone. A lot of jockeys and trainers make long
journeys for one ride, one runner. Some of them have been waiting a very long
time for a winner. When Bruslini and Ravens Secret were unplaced at Doncaster on Wednesday, it took trainer Tracey
Barfoot-Saint's wait for a winner under rules to 2,797 days
and 163 runners. Jockey Mr Geoff Barfoot-Saint's equally long famine
embraced 98 rides. Their last success under rules was when Mixsterthexstrixter
won a chase at Worcester
"Theirs isn't the longest wait by a current trainer.
Nicholas Pomfret also had a runner at Doncaster .
First Lad was tailed off in a novice hurdle, at 200-1, to provide Pomfret with
his 99th successive loser. His last winner was in March 2005, when Cool Chilli
sprang a surprise in a maiden chase at Catterick.
"AT DONCASTER , John Upson,
who once enjoyed some glorious days with Nick The Brief and Zeta's Lad,
watched Oak Wood become his 88th
successive loser. Upson's last winner
was when Wishes Or Watches won a three-runner chase at Plimpton in April 2011.
"There are plenty of other trainers in a similar situation
and they can all take heart from Total Assets' plucky victory at Newcastle
"Trainers with long losing runs often have few horses and
few runners and they are certainly not training as a route to riches. Nor are
the many jockeys who battle on through thick and thin (thin, mainly) living in hope, enjoying the excitement and
camaraderie if not the prizes.
"It's been over a year, although only 68 rides, since Mattie
Batchelor, who won the 2011 Hennessy Gold Cup on Carruthers, last rode a
winner. At least it was a good one when Carruthers' half- brother Coneygree won
the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham
in December 2012.
"Hopefully, relief will soon be on its way, as it was for
Jimmy Quinn on Wednesday when Costa Filey's victory at Kempton ended an untypical
two-month, 98-ride drought.
"Few trainers or jockeys are totally immune from frustrating
losing runs. Even the prolific Tim Vaughan
is enduring a mini-famine, not
having had a winner since Oscars Den's success at Carlisle
on December 15, 35 runners ago.
"Training and riding racehorses involves an awful lot of
fruitless journeys defeats and disappointments, I look at some trainers and
jockeys and wonder how they survive, and what keeps them going. For many, the
answer lies in the horses and the people, a passion and a way of life.
"Let's hope that some
of those who have been waiting for so long have a winner this week. "

You have to think with your horse always. Not just for yourself.
Every horse is different, just the same, as every person is
different. You have to compete as one in a horserace.
