Jamie Elsworth Value or no value is of no relevance. Just because he's a hold-up horse going off at 15-8 doesn't make the jockey immune to criticism. You're a time man. When you analyse the sectionals, you'll see that Shoemark screwed it up.


Matt Chapman Newmarket Racecourse Hi Matt, I backed the winner based on Buick's decision....but the runner up should have won....Shoemark's 2 second delay in reacting to Buick's winding up of the winner was decisive..poor ride..Gosden was diplomatic ....bless him....hey ho...Shadows acceleration was explosive tho

ITV Racing Newmarket Racecourse William Buick Godolphin I'm afraid not even Chapman can defend his mate Shoemark there!! He's sat on a horse that he knows gets the mile well with a double handful 2 furlongs out an doesn't move a muscle, he's cost his horse the race! Be amazed if Juddmonte let him anywhere near that horse again




ITV Racing Matt Chapman Chappers “tbh they started pushing at the same time, it wasn’t like he was miles behind” Erm! I don’t think so, Chappers! There’s clearly 4/5 seconds Buick starts pushing before Shoemark pushes! Ultimately that’s what’s cost him the win! Stop with the ignorance!

Peter Michael After that ride Shoemark is toast.

AIDANOBRIENFANSITE Count himself unlucky that his jockey is useless. Shoemark needs sacking before he costs Gosden more big races.

Matt Chapman Newmarket Racecourse ITV Racing Shoemark held his horse too long because he thought he’d pick them up easily - but the last half became a sprint. Jockey error I’m afraid. S of L won’t win over a mile imo. The other two will be close over a mile and two.


Jamie Elsworth But you can hold up/settle in whatever you call it without taking back off very stdy early fractions, you are saying is given hindsight Murphy & Shoemark would ride the same race again, because that how the horses need to be ridden. I dont believe they would, the best horse lost

Matt Chapman Newmarket Racecourse ITV Racing You let yourself down today in your interview with Gosden. Not for the first time, the ego went into overdrive. Not a good look to interrupt a 40 year training veteran who knows more about bad rides (Shoemark’s) than you do.
