Well done Seamie, humble man; great jockey....great horseman

[@paulrichards6894]

come across as a great bloke....what a team player

[@unknowngreat6801]

He was certainly thinking of Ryan Moore yesterday when he let him win the derby. Nice ride on the second Seamie

[@paulrichards6894]

was an odd ride..... don't think he let him win it but think it crossed his mind 2f out

[@user-su7lr2ik5q]

humble man.....Ryan Moore is the man though!!!

[@mallafets]

"I am usually happy to run a place". Told us before the race.

[@seadrifter8975]

Great ride on adelaide river in the derby ? 👌 lol😅😅

[@gerrymcglynn7390]

Great 👍, jockey Seamie does a lot for. Mr o Brien ,and a great 👍, Relationship with him after all this time ,good luck Seamie and God bless 🙌 😮

[@therobbieunited]

What a competitor, could of won the Irish Derby today but instead will settle for pat on the back by the lads

[@joemac9249]

I was thinking that but he probably saved both a tougher finish maybe a photo finish or something. These 3 year olds are given too much racing imo.

[@peterweldon3721]

I remember years ago seamas driving up to my father looking for a ride as father was training and father did give him a ride a few rides he gave him

[@oslinthompson8182]

A serious question for the many commentators who think horseracing is fixed. Do you bet on horseracing, and if so, why?

[@keithknight1686]

How cruel is it to put pastries in front of flat jockeys?

[@andrewdunne1735]

Mystery virus or something will ensure he "retires" with his record intact,its all about the breeding sheds😂😂😂😂😂

[@sarahrsarah]

He had augusta rodin bet tday only for he would of been sacked cause he was goung for the double derby irish , english but he should of kept going he had ryan moore in his pocket it dosent matter who wins cause the 2 them 1st seciond where coolmore migten be the same horse but same trainer nd same stable would winning it seamus in my opion should be the first choice jockey for aidan just look at ascot all the 2nd string seanus was on wll won 22 ,1 25 1 18 ,1 ect dnt get me wrong ryan is brilliant jockey but as everyone knows if he is in bad mood or some one has gievn out to him some big owner or that ryan will sulk for the day and half hearted try trust me seamus should be in this position propepr horse man and knows how to get horses going yea even the 50 to 1 shots ect i can see him been ballydoyle number 1 jockey in next 2 years 💯 mark my words wayne lordan is good also but out of the 3 if i had to pick id leve seamey on my horses well done to ballydoyle and magnier and other owenrs and the one and only the rouge aidan o brien likeable rouge tho 😁😁😅

[@toomuchrespect]

That's the longest sentence of shite 😂 why did I read it!!

[@sarahrsarah]

Be honest you read it because u know Notting about irish racing maybe that oul British racing that hasn't won atin in years 😅 when's last time use won gold cup Derby 😅😅 all the best In finding out and learning more about racing tom 😁😅🐴🏆 English racing hahha

[@robertdelacy3434]

​@@sarahrsarahhe didn't even ride at Royal ascot this year wayne lordan was on the second strings get your facts right

[@colmoconnor8009]

For the love God, can nobody see that he doesn't give the horse his two half hearted taps until well inside the final furlong. The guy does what he's told...fair do's ...but don't for a second think he gave his horse a proper ride today.

[@paulrichards6894]

not sure in the end it made a difference but 2 out i think seamie thought i am going to be in trouble here beating the stables "superstar" and definately stopped riding

[@colmoconnor8009]

@@paulrichards6894 I mean the overall truth is in only 10,000 people turning up. The public deserve to see a horse race at the very least & of course nobody can question anything on RTE. Personally, I think if there was a John McCririck on TV & asking the uncomfortable questions, that would be a help.Its becoming more Formila 1 than horse racing

[@damonclarke3741]

Really well looked after, i never want for anything..... I bet you dont lad.

[@mikeharrington5593]

Auguste Rodin had a hard race today. Ryan might have got a whip ban from the English stewards for that driving final furlong. Aiden will know he has earned a long break to recover from these exertions.

[@Martin.Lewis..]

😂😂😂😂 not sure what you were watching kid.. The further they went the better Rodin was!! Wins the Arc.

[@madtingsadting]

@@Martin.Lewis..he was poor today. Had to get really serious with him against a poor field. FACT.

[@Martin.Lewis..]

@@madtingsadting 😂😂😂 ok mate.

[@madtingsadting]

⁠@martinlewis6036 tell me who he beat here that are any good? Both white birch and sprewell not ran to there ratings and he’s beaten a 6th string by a length. Underperformed. Fact. How can you argue what is evident.

[@Bloons-er3xl]

@@Martin.Lewis..king of steel will destroy him on the rematch

[@NoName-hl8cu]

If you stopped reading "tips" and learn to read the race cards, you would become fully aware the "favourite" has competition to win!

[@mrpatel4873]

Disgraceful ride today in the Irish Derby puts racing in a poor light.

[@goldenboots507]

Corrupt little so and so

[@Priyath1010]

No dout it was most disgraceful ride we ever saw it was not a good derby horse a poor contest so horrible sure to get beaten in the next race for sure

[@Realman-eq1yi]

EVIL CHEAT AND VERY FEMININE

[@iskelebalikevi2188]

Horrible jockey all of the time.. aidan obrian made him a successful.. latest win 2017

[@damonclarke3741]

Hes a cheat, lets be honest. This sport is dying and this is one of many reasons why.

[@waynegrow4141]

Not very articulate.

[@damonclarke3741]

Disgraceful ride in the irish derby. This was basically theft. Punters had their money stolen here.

[@drofheim]

Considering the price, the majority got paid out.

[@damonclarke3741]

@drofheim what does that even mean? Adelaide River placed at 33/1. You do know if you win at 33/1 that's a lot more money. Five times as much in fact.
