Would you change the jockey on Dunguib?

Question

Would you change the jockey on Dunguib? Some people claimed the Brian O’Connell got it wrong in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Answer 1

He may have taken a slightly wider route that was right but the biggest problem was the horse’s jumping. He might have the engine but you have to suspect that this horse is not a natural jumper. And O’Connell knows the horse well so he’s probably got as much chance of getting a tune out of him as the likes of AP McCoy or Ruby Walsh.
