Lance Rokela

Recommended Posts

Sad to note the passing early this morning of former jumps jockey Lance Rokela better known as Roc. He had a great association with Mr Hickey winning both the 1980 Great Northern and Wellington Hurdles on him. His first win was on Fox View on the 8/7/72 at Avondale for Peter Wilson. His second win was on Ascona on the 15/7/72 at Matamata for Ken Browne.

Worked with Roc while he was in Matamata. A likable bloke with a few problems. Last I knew he was with Steven McKee at Takanini.

Seen him 1 other morning in Papakura leaving  a dairy carrying a Best Bet along with a Friday Flash. Thats our Roc.
