Ross may improve his golf handicap now with the spare time he will have. The recently retired Ivan Bridge, Ross's golf partner may also get his golf score, not to look like a score that a cricket player would love. Both are top blokes and they do enjoy their efforts to master the game of golf at Clarks Beach

I had another look and thought the one who is 2nd from the left is Trever James and also Mr Fish IN THE MIDDLE

There is only 1 Steve Blair Eddie, 2nd from the right,no idea of the others

What an arrogant prick,Sir. I am not disputing Micheal's record, arguably the best at placing horses to their best, Horses like Beks, El Chico etc You can have an opinion, equally, be ready to get a rebuttal on your opinion as it may come as a surprise to you, but when you single out anyone with your bully-boy tactics you will get a justified response. When I see Curious mention the name Snow and Bowls,I trust it is not the person I am thinking of.It would be so disappointing if it is,Just Saying. Now if you or anyone else wants $100 for exposing who this wolf in sheep's clothing is, just advise me in confidence.

I have just read Curious's post and I hope it is not the man I was thinking of. I thought he was a much better bloke from what I had seen in his Bully Boy comments.

I have watched this clown babble on continuously about Freda. I have known her for 50-plus years, and in that time, I would say that she is a very accomplished horsewoman. Yes, she doesn't get well-bred horses, and yes, again, a lot are cast-offs from other stables, but in my opinion, she has done a good job with what she has to work with. I have a clue who this clown is, but I will donate $100 to a charity to the person who can confirm tactfully who this Billy Connolly character is. When it is confirmed then I will critique his history and if it is the person I believe he is, it will be so much fun to embarrass his short career In Racing.

Chief do not post so much rubbish,it does not support your debate

Don't forget Sir Bob Charles and Just Tommy won at Randwick and TAB I think it is Jaylah Kennedy

Hell no, after 6 months working there, I would always bow to the boss but had to run beside him to do that. I thought that if there was a place on Earth called Hell, it was Riccarton Stud and I spent 6 years in Hell.

I will stop you right there.I was apprenticed to a hardman, we used to get apprentices that were wayward. If I was riding down South, the plan was to walk down the drive a 1km drive with my gear, wait until the Midland bus came along, this was at 6 pm arrive in Dunedin at midnight, Get a taxi to Wingatui arrive around 12.45, then get asked to ride work at 5 30,no breakfast,I normally had to run a sweat, then go to wherever and repeat the process to get home. The boss would give me $20 and ask for the change, It was a waste of time to tell him the bus was $30 each way. I will guess the jockey you refer to,J Bates

Interesting on this topic,I was talking to an ex-NZ jockey who was on holiday in Aussie and was at a club and was talking to some Aussie's blokes when a race from Gore came on , then an Aussie said will blow me down sport, When did Sky start taking races from India.

I thought the same regarding the use of the whip,I had a decent punt on the horse because as I have said before she has got the X factor, but I noticed before the race she was a bit on the toe and sweating, and when you could see 300m from the finish she was traveling like the winner, in fact getting further ahead, I would have thought she didn't need to pull the stick and let her have an enjoyable day, Just my opinion

It is a typo and to back that up the 2nd horse was trained by Barry Taggart who also wouldn't have been to Riverton. The Easter races were at Riccarton and Riverton where you could ride for 5 days of a 6 day circuit and the typist must have been confused.

I am sure she didn't race at Riverton, as after driving 7 hours back from Riverton I was told to be at the track to ride Orchida in work at 6.30am.
