Insider 3,981 Report post Posted November 13, 2023 BC was one of the real good guys in racing. I’ve known Brian for close to 50 years and well remember “the sting” successfully carried out at Greymouth with a filly sent down from the North Island. Those of us in the know certainly got the chocolates and did we feel good….LOL Thinking of you at this moment Sandra.

Apparently he won his golf tournament yesterday too before he moved on. Alf Riston, Gruff and Insider 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Kirrama 1,515 Report post Posted November 13, 2023 Chris Wood, very sad.I have Wonderful memories of a champion hard bloke. Brian Collins. BC was and is a Great Man. Kind and very fair. Staunch. BC helped me get the Video on course video contract at Counties, along with Haubie and Sir Brian Mollett and that awful bloke Sir Kim Clotworthy. BC taught me, earlier in my life, how to load thoroughbreds onto planes.With propellers.How to deal with the union rules for off loading thoroughbreds in Aussie. His TAB account balance will probably go to the " The injured Jockeys fund" or " The rehabilitation /education of Jockeys who rode my Horses poorly " or Brian Collins book " How to Train Races as an Owner " Love and thoughts Rev shaneMcAlister, Alf Riston, skoota and 6 others 5 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
