Tony McGovern 16 Report post Posted April 25, 2017 Sad news last night with the passing of Johnny ( J.T. ) Anderson. After a very successful riding career, JT went on to be assistant starter around Auckland, Waikato districts working with Jack Mudford, John Humphries, Gripper Harrison and me. A great horseman and a very popular figure around the tracks for many years. Rest easy old mate. elbow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

final luca 189 Report post Posted April 25, 2017 met john while driving taxi's , he was a regular, at first he was a real grumpy bastard but over time , and when he learnt I had horse interests, he became quite friendly,, and talkative, I found him to be a really good and honourable bloke. always sad to hear of the passing of older racing greats, more so when you have met them in person, it be comes personal,, , enjoy they great races track in the sky ..
