Now after three races an early double to an in form Pat Carbery, but surprisingly only one more ride to come for him on the 25/1 chance Two Eye See.
Uptown Funk $151 into $26 @-) @-) @-)
Isn't there a prominent figure on here that has a share in this horse. Maybe one of the PUNTA lads

“Kirby continues to be a total disgrace , week after week rides the first or second favourite in most races and totally butchers them .. today was no different. He should be made a country only jockey until he shows he is up to the big time , his 3kg claim is worthless because he continues to put his mounts into positions with no hope of winning . His incompetence is growing”

Pressure is a big factor to many jockeys, least of all an apprentice who is having a bad run. Adam Durrant is a very tough task master. Most of Kirby's rides today were for Durrant. No surprises to see the kid make blues today, given his form and the heat from the trainer (who is trying to win a premiership).
I thought the comment was worthy and some would feel the same way yet would be too scared to share their same thought and generate discussion..
And for the record, the person responsible is a well known and respected one from the industry.. some might say he’s one of the better judges from WA in the game

The problem is you copied and pasted it after liking someone's very critical post about the ride. It's not enough to just put something on a forum with no name to it and then put your hands up and absolve yourself of any responsibility. Where's the editorial responsibility ??
Just my opinion for what its worth and I will probably get smacked down.
Since he has come back from that fall. He looks scared to take runs that are obviously there. He looks as though he doesn't want to push through gaps that are huge and is always very conscious and looking around when locked away in a field.
Remembering he is a kid riding a very large animal at speed. His confidence is shot, hopefully he doesn't get on social media and lose a bit more confidence in his own ability. from what people are writing.
Because before that fall at Geraldton, there was no better rider barring Willy going around in WA. I had huge confidence backing his mounts. Now not so much.
Totally agree with your "confidence is shot" comment Jum.
No other explanation for the quality of that ride.
It appeared when the horse on his outside the eventual winner took off, he should have gone with him.
When a footballer is out of form or has lost confidence they go back to the reserves to find their mojo.
Brodie needs to go back to the riding in trials only where there is no "monetary" baggage on his back.
Maybe Danny Miller in his life after racing can be a mentor for apprentices that are going thru similar issues.
