He is lucky he is still on ACC, they have removed many. Only pay to 65yrs, surely he must be getting close. 
 

And…. I think he should be included Hall Of Fame 👍

It's a preposterous aberration when Linda Jones can make the HOF with 65 wins yet the two most successful NZ jockeys in history with 5000 wins between them are given the two fingered salute by clowns who should know better.
