Outstanding Gentleman!! He was One Of The Great's On The Racetrack!! Mr Kinane Is A True Legend On And Off The Track!!

[@user-wq7nq1xm6b]

A privilege to watch and listen to this.does not get any better for me

[@GBeret83]

The man's forgotten more about riding a winning race at the highest level than most could ever hope to learn in their lifetime. One of the most cool headed, shrewd, and calculating jockey's I ever saw.

[@user-cn9yh1en1z]

The best ever... So natural always in the right place an absolute legend..

[@atticuskilby515]

Fantastic recap of an amazing career. Giant's Causeway's loss in the BC Classic was hard, but Tiz Now was so extremely game, taking nothing away from Giant's Causeway because he was brilliant.

[@martinclail9290]

To this day I still believe that dead heat involving High Chapparal was the dead heat that wasn't.

Sea The Stars…a horse of a lifetime. Mick Kinane… a jockey of a lifetime.

'He is a champion i reckon".... A Champion Jockey and a Jockey of Champions

[@grudeman]

What a life this man has had, riding winners all over the world and the amount of outstanding horses hes been on is absurd! Legend after legend, what a jockey ☘️

[@lesliemccaghy9611]

Fantastic interview!.

[@BugleCoops]

Not sure how common it would be for a jockey to visit a horse he'd last (race) ridden 15 years ago but, much like John Oxx last year, you could really see Mick Kinane's face light up when talking about Sea The Stars so to casually drop in that he'd seen him the day before was a touching moment. Another in an excellent series of interviews by Rishi Persad and Steve Mellish.

A world 🌎 great the man was rideing winners all over the world in his day magnificent jockey many a turn he did me himself and Dermot weld were unbeatable at one stage 😊

[@davidmcmahon5234]

I would actually say he was the best jockey that ever came out of lreland no disrespect to p eddery K Fallon the assassin Johhny Murtagh l could be here all night listing them that's 😉 just my opinion

[@davidfield7810]

Brilliant.

[@johncopeland3826]

In my opinion , Sea The Stars was never extended in his 6 group 1 romps as a 3 year old ! I read somewhere years ago that Mr Henry Cecil stated that the triple crown should have been the Guineas ,the Derby and the Ascot Gold Cup . I believe Sea The Stars would have completed that feat easily . From a miler to a proper stayer with the finesse of a locksmith ! PS ..would Frankel have stayed a true run mile and a half race ? Considering they were scared to try him over that distance , im not so sure ?

[@sionrouge1697]

His greatest attribute is that he never got in a horses way of winning. Maybe He would change the ride on Giants Causeway in the Breeders Cup classic but overral he was a steller rider

[@robertdelacy3434]

He was terrible on Rick of Gibraltar in the breeders Cup Mile

[@sionrouge1697]

@@robertdelacy3434 Arlington was not the turf course to give up too much ground on. Even if it rained in Chicago the course stayed firm like a highway.

[@frankelforever14]

Giants causeway and RoG in the US weren't his finest moments but we are talking about a racing legend here so let's talk about his rides on Montjeu and Sea of Stars in the Arc, Rock of Gibraltar in the Irish guineas and Vintage Crop in the Melbourne cup. He had balls of steel and rarely was beaten in a tight finish. A true gent too who was always on hand to give younger jockeys advice.

[@frankelforever14]

@@sionrouge1697 Tiznow will always be remembered as a legendary horse but if Kinane hadn't of dropped his reins at a crucial point I think the Iron horse may have beaten him. Sakhee's rider made the mistake of getting into a battle with Tiznow instead of trying to stay away from him. Both European horses were racing on a dirt surface for the first time, I very much doubt Tiznow would have finished within a head of either in a 10f race at royal Ascot or York.

He certainly was.cool customer.vintage crop winning was class.got a bit of stick from the aussies for the ride when we he went back but he was all class the great horses he rode 👍

[@waynegrow4141]

Any time I met Mick, he exemplified rudeness and smug arrogance. This obviously won’t fit the comments narrative but that was my experience.

[@bernardmcguinness4394]

You obviously didn't appreciate greatness when it was in your company

[@waynegrow4141]

@@bernardmcguinness4394 he was a pr’ick, no other way to describe it. He’s affable to the media and connections I’d say but otherwise is a mean, grumpy bore. Compare him to Aidan, who has the time of day for anyone.
