Murray Fish Posted June 1 Posted June 1 (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? Quote
Chief Stipe Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Don't the Yaxley's come from Springfield? I'll PM you some details. Quote
Chief Stipe Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Might be the wrong one. But this recent article might be a lead. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/stratford-press/news/egmont-racing-club-nonagenarian-stalwarts-long-running-contribution-to-racing 1 Quote

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

Chief Stipe Posted June 1 Posted June 1 1 hour ago, Freda said: Yep. At least then, he was. So the Springfield Yaxley's are probably related? 1 Quote
Murray Fish Posted June 3 Author Posted June 3 slowly making some progress, he was seen alive recently.. and the ex editor of Stratford Press is trying to get a contact detail 1 Quote
JMemonic Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I know this is a bit a of a thread dredge, but I can attest he is alive. He is very confidential with regard to his details but has given me permission to act as an intermediary. If you want prints of his work just let me know details and I will pass them to him, and get back to you with a price, but I would suggest you don't wait too long as he has had health issues recently. Regards Brent Yaxley Quote
