one of the best jockeys ever will be doing stints in Australia, Japan, Brazil and Europe, before retiring.  Watching him and Purton battle it out in their youth was just electrifying.   His hip pain has never resolved and he wants to "go out" by getting to travel the world a little bit, probably just  a few months.   His rides on Able Friend, Rapper Dragon and Brazen Beau were so great. 

As long as Jenny at the Paddock (Jenny Chapman) doesn't leave HK I will continue to player there. 


Someone asked me why Moira isn't coming here.   (I kinda had to chuckle).
