Unmatched, great reins man, gate to wire performance..the only jockey in the western hemisphere.. the only jockey listed twice in the Guinness book of records.. whoever beat that win.. simply the best jockey in our times..🎉🎉❤❤.. respect fandangles
For starters, Winston "Fanna" Griffiths's skill at delivering WINS in Stakes races (Group 1) is 2nd to none. In turn, this easily tramples on any misconceptions that this gentleman's not one of Jamaica's FINEST jockeys ever. His adoration's rock solid. Endless list of accomplishments well documented.
Greetings family, weather you are a fan of Fanna or not any reasonable person can say that it takes a very good jockey to rate a horse from gate to wire especially in a filed like that, Yes many other capable rides could have done the same but that was spectacular from Griffiths and that’s why he won so many races, I watched an interview on TH-cam about Phillip Feanny and he said that when it comes to Griffiths and big races the mistakes are very minimal comparing to the victories, no ordinary jockey don’t just get up and win 11 derbies.
Well said bro...he was a MASTER at rating horses on the lead.....I will never forget a race he won on a horse called NONNA (trained by Feanny). He sent Nonna to the lead going 9furlongs & 25 yards with THIS BUDS FOR YOU chasing (Charles Hussey up) and led from the gate by a 1/2 length to the winning post!!....This was a Wednesday....I remembered this race vividly because I even won good money off Nonna the day....cause I had put good money on him (because I knew the odds would be short)....I think Nonna went off at 9/5
Yes I remember that race very well but funny it is this man win race on some horses that no other Jackie can win on so I have to crown him king of the track the great Winston fanna Griffiths
There was always this seemingly MAGICAL ability that abided with Winston "Fanna" Griffiths, OD as an A-list jockey. He had animals "sprout wings" as needed to win some very tough races - most UNCOMMON feat to this day. Case(s) in point? This event. Then, the 1981 Jamaica Derby with the illustrious Royal Dad, and the 2000 Jamaica Derby with the classy colt, I'm Satisfied. To name a few. Serious traffic problems; runnning on fumes; strong and persistent urging; LIMITED strikes of the whip; comfortable victory. Thank you, Joe Mercer (Brit).
The great Winston fanna g boy this jackey is the best it's a pity he of to give it up a full joy every moment that this jackey action god bless u my jackey
Vestia was a talented horse horse of the year for 1993 Restless babe was a very talented horse too to me both of them was the greatest Rivalry in caymanas park history them always put on a show vestia never win any race back as a 4 year old but she run some tough races and get some tough beat two great Rivals
Nice front running win for Vestia under the record breaking jock Fanna G. Vestia’s win gave Fanna and Feanny their 8th consecutive classic victory - a world record. They had won all 5 classics in 1992. Interestingly, the streak got broken in the Derby by Restless Babe (2nd here).
Like #80. Another EXCELLENT ride from my all time favorite jockey, Winston "Fanna" Griffiths, OD. A cheeky ride as this here easily silences the naysayers. Horsemanship and working knowledge of one's craft - 2nd to none. To the naysayers - we're ready for rational debate - Tek dat!!!!!
@courtneytrott966 well come to the vintage racing channel. Please like, subscribe and share with all. Thank you. There are a lot of races on the channel for you to watch.
My word look how mr Griffiths gets his mount to responded to the stick has they turn for home. About four cracks of the right hand stick , horse wins by ten or more. Great man W. Griffiths
When I check the level this man should be in a show case all by himself balance and timing no added compear to this Jackie Winston fanna Griffiths you too great Winston fanna
Vestia was such a beast. Shame she didn't produce anything of note in the shed. I'm sure if it was today, HAM stables would've bred her to top level stallions (even ship her to America to cheap Grade 1 stallions) and they would've gotten good foals out of her.
Well ridden and supreme front running tactics by Fandangles. For the record Vestia also beat Restless Babe in the St. Leger so the point of Fanna paying attention to Bimbo and Tai Fu Chai in the Derby is with merit - Narry and Restless Babe was the lucky recipient that day with the inside rail run.😊 Of another note is that turfites question the abilities of Fanna. If a survey is done it would reveal that these are 2:20 non supporters of Fanna and may very well support Bimbo, HoSang, Bartley etc etc What you will never hear is a Fanna supporter questioning the abilities of another Jockey. We just revel in the fact and celebrate one of the best riders Jamaica has produced.
You couldn't have said it any better 👍👍 I am a Griffiths fan.....and I believed he made too bad judgements in 2 Derbys..... 1.My Apology was too late.... although enduring some traffic problems 2. Vestia was sent through too early in the Derby.... Restless Babe was a superior stayer.....hence Fanna erred in moving so early....but it was a brilliant ride by Ramgeet anyway. You are so right on the score of Griffiths fans not putting down other jockeys I have great respect for Bimbo, Hosang, Hussey and Ramgeet.... although Ramgeet had a habit of pinning his rivals to the rail in a nasty way!.... Bartley , Everton Miller and Trevor Simpson were great riders too....I think Jamaica's greatest horse race riders are all mentioned here
@cliveid4126: Interesting observation. I think the word “fan” is used too broadly. However, what you are referencing is loyalists vs. fans. True racing fans appreciate what different riders bring to the table & look forward to the competition between them although they have their favorites. The “fan club” of one rider, sports person or politician etc. may be made up of a larger % of loyalists vs. fans, as you are pointing out.
Shows that you don't need to beat the daylight out of a horse to get it the best effort out of it......(That was one Griffith's superior tactics)!! The jockey on Restless Babe could be cited for "cruelty to animal"!!(lol😁😁)....gave the horse some rhatid lick!!!!🤔🤔
Rohan can you find the race with I'm Satisfied & Westless Warrior? When Simon Husbands was the rider regular for I'm Satisfied & he opt for Wayne Da costa's Restless Warrior & Fanna beat him. I remember before the race in weekly 'The Star' On the Sport Page, the headline read, 'Husbands Not Satisfied'.
I'm satisfied was a difficult horse to train but gave his all on race days, that was a derby race when restless warriors darted across I'm satisfied almost unseating fandangles, but d great 1 armed swordsman kept his cool, rallied his mount...regained d ascendancy to beat restless warrior
2nd Take. Griffiths has proven over and over and over again that a jockey doesn't have to beat an animal into submission with the whip to get the job done. No!!! A gentle crack here and there followed by showing the whip as a reminder - enough.
@EmilioRodriquez the great one, well come to the vintage racing channel. Please like, subscribe and share with all. There are a number of races on the channel for you to watch. Also there are a lots of your races as well. Including Thornbird Derby and Miracle Cure sprint. Thank you.
Fanna at no point viewed Restless Babe as a threat in the Derby because Vestia always beat her convincingly... no wonder he left the rail open and actually was intent on "riding" Bimbo aboard Tai Fu Chieh when he took him wide coming into the straight. Vestia posted 2:07 3/5 seconds in the Oaks and ran a blistering 2:03 3/5 seconds in the Superstakes later that year. As one racing historian put it: "There's no telling to what heights an improving 3yo could reach."
@pelorusjack5461: So true, he took a calculated risk trying to tilt Tai Fu Chieh on his outside & paid the price. According to the Journal of Equine Science, a typical horse will improve by 10 -15 (horse) lengths between the age of 2 and 4.
@duenpagon1896 That science is true, while others improve even more lengths than that at times. Case in point: Menudo in 1999 ran as a maiden in the Derby and got beaten some 36 lengths. Cut it down to 20 when beaten again by Good Prospect in the St. Leger and as the saying goes, the rest is history. Turn the tables on her by September in a 10-furlong contest (I believe it was the TOBA Trophy) and she was again trounced among others in the Superstakes. Talk about unbelievable improvement!!!
@@pelorusjack5461 Definitely. Menudo went on to win the Superstakes 4 years in a row. The race in which he turned the tables on Good Prospect was the West Indian Thoroughbred Racing Association (WITRA) Classic when ridden by Shane Ellis.
Truly a remarkable front running performance by a true champion jockey (I do not regard all jockeys who top the tables at the end of a season as champion jockeys). However, MY all time greatest jockey is Emelio "Bimbo", "Willie Carson", "Iron Chest" Rodriquez. If you are an owner, trainer, or a punter and bimbo is aboard your horse and he stumbles and his horse loses a leg, figuratively or otherwise, you need not be perturbed. Bimbo will win the race just the same. '79 derby (Lucky Ole Son), Words of Rocket in a massive blanket finish of about ten horses over the straight, Miracle Cure in another massive blanket are just a tiny few of the innumerable 'impossible' performances of this legendary reinsman. Those victories required extraordinary riding skills of the rarest kind. Simply put, bimbo achieved the impossible in the saddle.

Golden Sky beat Legal Light and not long after was culled because each time he raced after that, he would whip around when the gates open. He became crazy lol
@@pelorusjack5461 Wow! Interesting piece of trivia about Golden Sky….one of the lightly weighted conquerers of the prime Legal Light! Others include Flash Point, Deep River, Impetuous…..if my memory serves me right - wasn’t Deep River, one-eyed?
Man that spoke about bimbo being best don’t have a clue about jockeyship lucky ole son was a big ride words of rocket walked out of the gates as the big favourite fanna used miracle cure three weeks later against eight of the horses she beat and won by five lengths, now bimbo lost the guineas on champion two year old naheelah to fanna on button up Neville Anderson replaced him in the oaks and Naheelah won easily, bimbo rode Milford sound in the guineas beaten by distinctly native Neville replaced bimbo in the oaks and Milford sound turned the tables on distinctly native, bimbo rode the big favourite seance in the derby and Neville used little cesario to trounce him and I can go on and on mr chest I’ll close with big favourite forceful native in the guineas and the world’s best jockey took him to school on the mattis trained black bullet filly ricochet I’ll leave you to ponder on that for now. Bimbo is not in W G league only Hosang may have a chance and remember Bartley took set on bimbo no jockey has ever took set on fanning fanna NONE.
Fanna was top rider but for me he was the most fortunate Jockey in that he rides some of the best horses particularly in the classics that were just superior to all others. My opinion skills for skills he wasn't best
The relevant question is: Why did he tend to get the BEST horses??🤔.... Clearly because trainers and connections saw him as the THE BEST or certainly among the BEST. If you were a trainer or owner wouldn't you want the BEST jockey to ride your horses especially in big races??🤔🤔 Somehow, your reasoning isn't adding up!! Logic and SENSIBLE REASONING tells me that: The BEST TRAINERS (and connections) tend to go for the BEST JOCKEYS to ride their BEST HORSES.... especially in the BEST RACES!!.....It happens the WORLD over.....More than a tinge of meanspiritedness is at the heart of your comment!!
