Carlton House
I find it an extremely petty and childish affair. Kieron Fallon should have learnt his lesson by now to draw well clear of any controversy, but has yet again made himself look like a dishonest and selfish figure. And it was all looking on the up for you Kieron!! Doh!
Native Khan's owner, Mr Araci, clearly had his feathers ruffled, but to drag this through the courts? I find it ridiculous personally.
Jockeys are always getting jocked off, usually down to discression of owners or trainers, but is this a case of spitting the dummy out when a jockey does it? Not that i'm trying to defend Fallon you must understand. Fallon apparantly had signed a contract and he should have kept his word, but in my opinion, the owners should have been a bit more dismissive ie, breaking all future connection with the jockey, or Ed Dunlop could have done the same, rather than treating it as such a serious matter and blowing everything out of proportion.
Native Khan
I've had my ew money on Native Khan for a few days. There is doubt to wether he'll stay in according to his breeding, but i'm not worried by the stamina issue, but have a slight worry about his speed... not that that'll matter if the race is run as slow as yesterday's Oaks.
All in all, I hope with all my might that Carlton House has them all behind him come the line. What a day it'd be for Queenie. You only ever see her grinning properly and genuinely with her horses, as opposed to that gritted teeth thing she does when she's accepting flowers from small children, or applauding the winner of Britain's Got Talent at the Royal Variety Show.
Good luck to you all today, no matter who you hate the most. I'd egg them both.

ANYWAY, I think Johnny Murtagh is a way better pilot, and I'd choose him to ride over Fallon any day!
