billy connolly Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Jackie Jamieson's looking good. She could've been the best of them if the roll of the dice had have gone her way. 1 1 Quote
Mardy Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Had no idea Debbie Henderson was in a Wheelchair?. Backed her quite a few times going back a few years when she was riding over the sticks. Quote

Pity weigh-in didnt have anything on this. We've had some pretty amazing female joçkeys over the years and Debbie Henderson winning the Grand National was an outstanding effort. Good on Oamaru Club for this raceday. 2 Quote

Yes, an excellent idea and great turnout. Does anyone remember Steph Faulkner ( Clark ) winning the Homeby Steeplechase as an apprentice? Weighing all of 52 kg at the time I reckon. 3 Quote

Shad Posted June 19 Posted June 19 15 minutes ago, Freda said: Yes. A trainer forgotten from the past, think he trained at Fairview from memory, trustum, dryden, another couple used to be down that way, also B Jones who I remember won a jarden mile with Johnny Alone, by un fancied sire Blue Vermillion, I remember giraffe was a grey horse by standaan, a very good sire of wet trackers, may have won more over the jumps than on the flat, aptly named. 1 Quote
