Racehorse TALK

Hey if you only know what its like to have ya head between a pair of these beauties.....

Agree Sporty, what a loss N Williams was mate, when he was riding IN Brissy,
if i was ever losing, i would look straight for N Williams to get me out of trouble

Was he good for a snip?     

     That i am not sure ask Sporty, but the above always was the case,
& if Williams was not riding etc, then i would back M Pelling with the same
results, both Super Jocks

Neil Williams was a top jockey, I remember him winning premierships in Brisbane, was the top rider there. I thought his move to the Gold Coast was based on lifestyle change.     

No, he always lived on G Coast, would commute to brissy for races etc, as Sporty
said the bloke couldn't even get a Ride at the G Coast towards the End, from memory he went
Abroad to ride for a few Years & on returning just couldn't get a Ride Hardly,
He then was also going thru a Divorce & with his Career in tatters, just couldn't
handle things & took his own life, Deadset Shame, N Williams

My memory is a bit hazy bit i recall going to warwick farm one day. i backed 3 winners in a row and realised that Williams was on them all.
A quick look at the guide and I realised I had selected his next 3 rides.
being the mug that I am, I decided that jocks don't ride more than 3 in a day so i got off them.

I seem to recall all 6 won and I ended up losing my cash

Zoro he was Apprenticed to Alan Bailey mate... ...so when Bailey moved up here .. naturally he went with him ...and  he was born in Cobar Nsw..

DD,

I did the same thing---if it wasn't for circuit breakers both you and I would be in heaven---hang on---maybe you would.

   

Yeh Wheels ... he done the old hose job in the car.. ....at the house...he was living with another jock at the time whom came home and found him...hey i'll tell ya another thing about him....when Kenny Russell died...well neil never could get over his death as they where like brothers...

Another jock to go the same way, Keith Marney  

I think you mean..Keith Mahoney don't you magic...? 

No, I mean Keith Mahoney 

Thats what i thought you meant mate...        

Cassidy Recovering After Surgery To Severed Fingers
In Sydney, leading jockey Jim Cassidy "is recovering after undergoing lengthy surgery to repair 2 fingers he nearly severed in a gardening accident," reported The Daily Telegraph. Manager Matt Privato confirmed last night: "I spoke to Jim briefly & he seems to be doing pretty well under the circumstances. He hasn't seen the surgeon since the operation, but we are all hoping for some good news." Cassidy, 46, suffered the injuries when he was trimming hedges at his home on Monday & "remains hopeful of making a comeback to the saddle by the end of the year".
