in that case he's a prince. I've worked with dozens of jockeys and I don't know any that would call home a horse on which they'd lost the ride. Unseat at the first more like.

Think he got jocked off Unblest (in favour of California Cash) for the Guineas after looking after it when beaten in the Craven/Greenham or similar.Yes it was owned by Vestey.

Yes just checked in his book and he says he gave press interviews saying he hoped the horse got beat in the Guineas. Shippy was doing him at the time.

Fair play. Top man is Shippy. I did George in 99 when his excellent agent took a break. SHE annoyed the fk out of me.
George had no respect for some owners. He chinned Savill after all.Good on him. |
