He should retire, if he is medically unfit he will still receive ACC. 
He is 61, gosh i thought he was about 70 now,

Nicci posted that fact up recently, hence in the public domain...  

As you know (?)I set up CWJ's Fanpage,  hence over the last few years I get asked rather a lot, "how is Chris doing.." I had a decent catch up with CWJ  earlier this year, where he shared, how things were going!   Well!  "other' than a serious nagging injury, one that has stubbily not heal well enough to ride the likes of fast work! Back then he didn't feel the need to go public, Nicci did that recently.

I got close to him once, was about 1989 the Friday night before the Kumara races, think from memory was stood down after a couple of rides, the memories and the good old days, things quite different these days, what a top rider, always got the best out of a horse in a tight finish, his other national was on Kid Columbus, a very good jumper that we never seen the best of, was heading to Australia was the Last i ever heard of him, injured maybe, his trainer M Hamilton who also had harness horses from memory, must have retired, had a number of horses, remember my uncle backing Kid when he won a flat race paying over 100 to win.

After reading your comments this morning I've been thinking about Chris today.  Can anyone ever recall him being grumpy?
