  1. Thanks
    Maverick got a reaction from Pam Robson in Apprentice jockeys   
    There are exceptions..... One trainer of today......was apprenticed to his father and I never saw him ride any horses at the track. He finished another apprenticeship during the same time as a butcher. His weight would have limited any rides under 70kg. (and I might be forgiven for under estimating that too) Yo
    u probably know who I mean Pam. I remember riding track work for his dad on several occasions. There was also another apprentice with a trainer that never rode any other trainers horses work as he was off to work as a Panel Beater apprentice. He never got very many rides as an apprentice as a result...... Today he is one of the stipendary stewards.Once again you know who I mean.

    What has happened to the NZ Racing Museum?   I once paid up to become a Life Member of this and I never had a chance to visit. I wrote to the ARC and they could not give me any sort of answer on this subject. What have they done with the funds they were given for this new project?

    Cure for bank pain...... Imagine this.... I have had no back problems since.
    The horse was to gallop with a mate in blinkers after solo work was good.
    She led out and then was restrained at 200 m. so the other horse could come alongside on the outer.
    When she saw the gallop mate she swerved left, saw a trestle and jumped this leaving me to come down
    for vertical landing at about 38 mph face first. Cure immediate. Cannot recommend this would work every time though!

    I have been drinking Corona Light and suffered no ill effects. Every 14 days I get another dozen.

    Maverick got a reaction from hedley in All weather Tracks   
    Please .... No more talk of all weather tracks for gallops. Turf is best. Only excepts are Picnics Beach Races occasionally. Riccarton wasted $ on a wood.bark chip training track years ago. Now they have a track where there is a coarse base done by a roadworks company who sold off all the top soil. The grass on the surface does not have great roots going down, so is very hard. Horses now jar up racing on this road like surface. Look at the numbers racing on it today.

    Leo did me proud..... One ride one win, my first..... He had a bad check during the race, but got up to win by a neck at Motukarara.                                     I had a $100 each way at TAB the day before... which was worth near $3000 for a winning stake of $450 in the race..... I had another $200 to put on race day but was being watched by too many as I left bird cage asking why it opened up so short, so never put that on. The odds were much better at start time however. Leo was to ride again for me at Trentham but broke his leg in a race fall at Greymouth the day before.
