P594 Teletext 594 Sep15 01:51:42 O — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ————————— STEVE GIVES HIS LATEST VIEWS ON RACING Trainer Mark Johnston and jockey Jason Weavjt have got their wires well and truly crossed about their retainer agreement. Johnston has apparently cancelled his agreement with Weaver because the rider refused to partner Fly To The Stars in Turkey. But in my view that is simply the latest in a bizarre catalogue of incidents between the two. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 TU5F INST LAST 6 BETS 5 WON p568 Diary Greyhounds Track Facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Sep15 01:04:54 O — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ————————— DOUBLE TROUBLE Jason Weaver finds that hj has only ridden 50 % of Mark Johnston's winners this season, despite being the stable jockey. He unfairly lost the ride on Double Trigger in the Doncastet Cup after Michael Roberts won on the horse at Goodwood. Roberts took over initially because Weavjt chose to ride stable companion Double Eclipse instead. ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 TURF INST LAST 6 BETS 5 WON p568 Diary Greyhounds Track Facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Sep15 01:54:54 O — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ————————— HONOU5JNG OBLIGATIONS Jason Weaver's refusal to partner Fly To The Stars abroad comes after hj missed out on two big wins on the horse at Royal Ascot and Goodwood. Strange! When I was a retained jockey I rode every horse in the yard whjnjvjt possible. I didn't pick and choose and neithjt did mz trainer. Outside rides were only permitted when I warn't required to honour my obligations. ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 TU5F INST LAST 6 BETS 5 WON p568 Diary Greyhounds Track Facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Sep15 01:55:04 O — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ————————— BREAD AND BUTTER If two horses ran in the same race and the one I chose not to ride went on to win, it didn't matter. I was still back on board next time. 'eavjt should have been allowed to renew his partnership with Double Trigger which had been successful in the past. Equally when mz trainer Nickz Henderson sent a horse to a small meeting and I had the chance of better rides elsewhere, my bread and butter job came first - every time! ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Racing headlines 570 Race cards 580 TURF INST LAST 6 BETS 5 WON p568 Diary Greyhounds Track Facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Sep15 01:54:57 Advert RACING NEWS >> TOP HORSE RACING SERVICES SAT MY MAX BET OF YEAR BINTANG W 4-5 3 BETS-3 WENS FRIDAY,INCL TITAN W 8-1 LAST MON SOLE LATE BET AJIG D.
