Chris Wood 1,545 Report post Posted April 11, 2017 Just heard of the passing of Keith Lawrence over in Australia, a former leading hurdle rider back in the 50s and 60s. Condolences to all concerned. He used to be the gap man at TeRapa when I first started riding work, back in the early 70s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
