Blake Spriggs

@littlebirdietv @DustinSpriggs4 If anything it was a master stroke by Matt as he obviously knew that the horse needed to settle more if it was going to make it to the top grade then took them off when the job was done. I’ve ridden a lot of winners for Matt and I know he would think about that

@DustinSpriggs4 Ear Muffs came off March 2nd. Idle Flyer since then. G2 & G1 wins. All opinions. Looks like JW was proven correct😘 Or would you like them back on?

Imagine taking a horse off someone over ear muffs. #IdleFlyer

@bendorries76 It will certainly have a huge effect on turnover as I don’t think the industry would be spending billions of dollars a year advertising if it wasn’t leading to a major jump in turnover. A drop in turnover and ad revenue will effect every sport It will have a big impact.

Gambling ad reform The big players are already established The little players can’t afford advertising Will make little or no difference

Retired jockey Blake Spriggs reflects on the challenges he faced after a fall that ultimately ended his riding career. 📺 Ch. 78/68, Foxtel 529, Kayo or via our app

@Page1991Adam When enforcing that rule, the stewards will first look at whether the horse was ridden against its pattern or against instructions and neither was the case. If he pushes forward & they kick up to make her work then she fades late, the connections have every right to be furious

@BlakeSpriggs Given the way she jumped, and the lack of pressure the first 100m/200m, was she afforded every possible opportunity, as per the rules of racing?

Comparing a run where Ole Dancer drew one over 1200m & was able to land closer making zero effort to a run where she drew the outside gate over 1400m and complaining that she went back is just rage bait for mug punters. She’s settled as one of the back 3 runners in 5 of 6 starts

@Champ_Ratings Punters should’ve done the form and seen that she has settled in the back three in 5 of 6 starts which would have her racing pattern as a back marker. One run doesn’t make a pattern

@BlakeSpriggs Punters should have been told

@mortdoyle Zero effort is a huge overstatement and the instructions were to settle back. That doesn’t change just because the horse jumps well from the outside gate when first up over 1400m. There are times where you have to accept fate and settle into the horses pattern & hope for speed

@BlakeSpriggs That’s the point though it would’ve taken 0 effort to land closer the other day. Hard to see how making her run up in low 32s is less taxing than rolling on and having less to do late.

@BrissyPunter Rubbish as the horses racing pattern is to settle back and there is certainly a rule that basically says you have to do everything you can to finish in the best possible position

@BlakeSpriggs They chose not to compete. They practically told everyone pre race they're not going to compete. I have no problem with it. Not like there's any rules that say you have to compete or try your best. Go around for a fitness run

@DustinSpriggs4 @beermitchell Hasn’t owned one in 6 years 🤷🏻‍♂️

@beermitchell Hard to argue. A @BlakeSpriggs staple

Putting Soda stream in the red flag category, understand some normal people but majority owned by Nuffies.

@Page1991Adam @7horseracing It is a terrible theory to think that because someone has money, they won’t be deterred my losing $40k. He is clearly not happy about it as he is appealing it. If it wasn’t a deterrent, you’d see big name jockeys throwing the rule out the window but we don’t see that

@BlakeSpriggs @7horseracing With due respect, $40k for J Mac is ashtray money lol not a deterrent at all. IMO, do away with the rule. But, if you want to enforce it properly, be more fair dinkum in suspensions/fines and gradually increase if the breaches continue

"Either enforce the rule or don't have it" 😤 Richo and Emma are fired up over the whip rule‼️ J-Mac has been charged with excessive use of the whip following the Inglis Millennium...

@beermitchell Looks like the old team needs to get back together

For sale - Titilest t200 irons Taylor made burner driver + woods Odyssey 2 ball putter. Will trade for my dignity back Dm for further info

@beermitchell @Steph_Grentell Happy birthday Steph!

Happy Birthday to the Queen of our stable @Steph_Grentell Thank you for putting up with all my shit for another year ❤️

@willfreedman @beermitchell I actually didn’t hit one in the water. I think you’re getting mixed up with how many balls you hit onto the main road 🤔😉

@BlakeSpriggs @beermitchell You also hit way more balls in the water

There’s a real chance for @willfreedman to go one up on @beermitchell in race 6 at Kembla today. If he beats you home, it could be worse than Wills three putts playing golf Beery

@willfreedman @beermitchell Yea but we had less putts on a count back.

@beermitchell @BlakeSpriggs Spriggsy is acting like you guys won, I felt like I lost. But you most certainly didn’t win.

@beermitchell If you didn’t film it, did it really happen? 😂

Forgot to film myself bidding or mic myself up during inspections but purchased TILLSTROM online today for 30k. 3 wins from 6 starts inc his last over 1600, Solid when 4th in a Highway (120k) 2 starts back. Comes to Kembla with a city rating of just 59! 📧 Steph@mitchbeerracing.com.au

@beermitchell @willfreedman I was up all night thinking about this race and slept in. You guys are soft calling them off 😂

@BlakeSpriggs @willfreedman Get out of bed a bit earlier.. the races are off 😂

@DustinSpriggs4 There’s a difference between the level of quality and someone just giving up after a couple of rounds

@BlakeSpriggs Yeah but you’ve paid for absolute shit. For decades Aus boxing has been mutton dressed as lamb and continues to disappoint

His attempts to use you as a pawn in his con during the post match interviews was laughable and I’m sure you’re embarrassed for him after hearing the full audio. He wanted to get paid for nothing then possibly hoped to get paid again in a rematch

@DustinSpriggs4 You’re arguing that people can’t complain about the quality of a product after paying for it which is illogical.

@BlakeSpriggs A lot of carry on about a No Limit boxing card Blake. You sound like those people that lap back around a Macca’s drive thru and complain about the quality of the food
