I'd like a dollar for every time a jock jumped off my horse to ride something better.... this is just part of the game... Michelle Payne is well out of line.
I notice she's removed her tweet now...
Character Assassination because he’s made a choice on behalf of his owners? Agree or not.. getting personal about it is ridiculous.

Payne has played the sexism card to death imo, but anything goes to keep herself in the limelight...

Where is Clare Lindop’s movie after she retired? She’s ridden almost twice as many winners and was actually a good Jockey. You don’t see her carrying on.
Then again don't mind people speaking their mind, it's a free country. But it's a tricky one, owner not perturbed, said would just let it go through to the keeper, wise move too.
In regards to the jockey change can definetly see both sides of the argument and one that sit on the fence abit, but the good argument that owners pay the bills is hard to get away from.
I'd leave Meech on, think you're on a hiding to nothing by changing. Unless it wins! As far as loyalty a little sceptical on that one, it's there in some cases.

As for $1000 fine, what a joke and again it's a example of a double standard. Not two weeks ago Wayne Hawkes was on TV sprouting that Lindsay Smith was cheating, and then buttered up the next day by adding more fuel to the fire when questioned.. Did he get a fine or reprimand for the same thing?
Social media rightly or wrongly allows all to voice opinions in a public space. Not everyone will agree on things but the level of personal barbs toward others is pathetic and can be done in much better ways. I'm sure M Payne would do things differently again.

Don’t blame Frankie for her winning, most of it was the fact the horse had been hit up with the jack (jigger), she probably knew about it too,wouldn’t surprise me
