Irish 270 Report post Posted November 20, 2015 I'm told, on good authority (and if you can't trust a vet who can you trust?. On pain of death do not answer!!)), that one of the nicest blokes in the business is to do an interview with Steve Davis on Monday @ 7.30 p.m. We could do with a few more Lee Somervells in this world.

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted November 20, 2015 Seems a top bloke, hope he has a few stories to tell about that top horse of his. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish 270 Report post Posted November 20, 2015 More than one story I would think Huey. Addictive Habit is flying the Somervell flag with great alacrity but don't forget Celebrity Miss, or the lovely Fleur De Lune - who has recently become a mother with a fine filly foal to Darci Brahma - and is set to visit Per Incanto. (not that I suggest any of Lee's horses should lend themselves to promiscuity. Dear me no. We could have NZTR down on trainers for producing horses with loose morals - unlike themselves of course who are absolute pillars of moral rectitude. They would probably invent some sort of fine 'encouraging a thoroughbred female into practicing loose morals' has a nice ring to it. Besides, that would crank up the NZTR bank balance for the next trip to the Arc would it not??? Ah, dear, what a cynic I have become and I was once such a lovely honest simpleton. Enjoy the weekend children. Black Kirrama, Chestnut, Huey and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canelo 459 Report post Posted November 20, 2015 He deserves a lot more accolades than he receives and it's really good to put him in the spotlight. He has a small team, gets big results, keeps his horses at a consistently high level of performance over an extended time, trains horses that aren't sale toppers or bluebloods in any way, did a good job for Ada and goes about it quietly and with hard work and seems to be getting better by the year. Good on him Black Kirrama, Todamax101, rdytdy and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestbets 206 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 I rode trackwork some years ago for Lee and he was a wonderful person. His brother at the time was doing the video for the trails and he was a top bloke as well. rdytdy and Black Kirrama 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
