I think its fair to say the horse finished strongly, she barely moved a muscle in the last 2f, any attempt to drive the horse out and it places if not wins as those in front were going up and down on the spot

but still, well done for staying on

Bit unfair on her tbh. A lot of expirenced jockeys have struggled this week so maybe it's time to give her a bit of credit as its deserved.

Shocking day for me today, placed in the first and that's all I've had. Still £80 up for the week so that's a few new shirts. Happy days.

I saw her move, it was a kind of wobbly "whoooa bugger" kind of motion every time the horse landed.

Well done Victoria Pendleton absolute fantastic achievement.

I believe she played it rather safe and possibly a stronger ride would have seen her place or even win,however it looked like she had the horse nice and relaxed and maybe that helped him finish strongly,maybe if she had gone off faster she could have tired the horse out a little more.

I say well done and congrats on a good ride.

Nina is just the best women jockey ever.

A very fair assumption and she did well to get round and maybe with hindsight could have ridden it harder in the last few furlongs but she's still hugely inexperienced and if she decided to pursue this further it's something she'd get better at. What a performance by Nina Carberry though.
