You part of the first boaters freda? Paul went to St Kevin's Oamaru so I don't think he was a first four ships man no Thomass. Hailed from Southland I think but of course apprenticed to one of the true Masters Rex Cochrane then rode for years for the Andertons while running a fairly successful stable himself. There is a bit of pedigree there when it comes to training winners and when you combine that with the quality of stock and the systems TA provides well that is what happens. For all that TA is lucky to have all the Richards aboard. Great family every one of them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it should be for all visitors, but this team was the only one that insisted. That's an interesting one Pam As a long term tenant of their facility I wonder what they would do if - say - you complained about(for instance) the state of the training tracks and 'insisted' on them being rectified and brought up to an impeccable standard? Seems there is one rule for Big Dave(I wonder if he pays rent for all the time those horses spend down here) and another rule for everybody else at the CJC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
