Clayton Yaxley ex Racing Photographer

[Murray Fish]

(again trying) I've been asked with some help to track down a horse racing photographer Clayton Yaxley, he used to take photo in the early 2000's at the likes of WIngatui. They be keen to buy some photos off him? any suggestions?

[Chief Stipe]

Don't the Yaxley's come from Springfield?  I'll PM you some details.

[Chief Stipe]

Sent you a phone number.

Might be the wrong one.  

But this recent article might be a lead.

The number might be wrong as it is a Canterbury one.  But not a common name is it?

So was he a Cantab?

[Freda]

Yep.  At least then, he was.

So the Springfield Yaxley's are probably related?
