Greg Fairley.... tree surgeon

That should be oak a.

...all tree work considered......willing to travel a radius of one mile from home.

Take it that will be a trunk call.

he has had plenty of practice for starting the chainsaw while he was riding anyhow

specialises in poison ivy ,or is that his mum

no surprise he's branching out

leaf it out..

while we are on the subject of getting the chop...

..must be barking....

Plank

I think he was a good jock, much better than many.

he wont stick it imo

hes sticking to his roots

Saw it coming tbph.

money will drop working a tree day week.

Yew know she is the elder of them.

Too true penzance, truncating a working week like that.

...who says there is no original humpour left on the betfair forum...

Can't work Wednesdays as he goes shopping and has buttered scones for tea.

must of conkered his fear of heights,then.

I gues he twigged that racing wasn't for him then.

All a bit harsh really, he's done wrong but is trying to turn over a new leaf.

If he fell out of love with racing fair enough. You have got to be Sappy in your job

Life's a Beech

Gone to 'seek a more' fulfilling job. Hope he's not doing his conkers backing any of Johnston's trees. Johnston's trees? Not that old chestnut again

new career,fir play to him.

Doubt he'll pine after his old job ....especially with his Mrs. at the elm.

...and the hits just keep on coming....

greg would never think of being a surgeon, i bet his mother was the brains behind the operation

if his first venture does well I expect he will open another branch...

Firley is a sap.

What a sap

bought his new tools off Gumtree

some people don't realise when they had it good.........

fairley doesn't give a fig what we think ...he's a poplar guy.

Last ride will be on Redwood.

Yew know he's not reading this? He's on hollyday in Cork.

Hard job tree surgeon.............somedays you can't see the woods for the trees.

If anything suspicious happens ...he can always call the copse.

Mark Johnston has behaved seriously badly over Fairley.
He says: "We haven't seen him here for a few weeks and I don't really know what is going on, but it sort of fits with his attitude to riding for me which I never quite understood either."

Johnston used him alongside Fanning on a daily basis right up until early June.
He needed to let both know that de Sousa was going to be used more than either of them and he used two excuses.
"Owners were increasingly reluctant to use him" and 'His mum phoned and took issue with the distance he was having to travel for one or two rides".
I have always got on with Mark but he is intransigent and when he wants to get rid of Keith Dalgleish / Jason Weaver / Darryll Holland / Royston Ffrench / Kevin Darley he makes no bones about it.

what about the 20k in Gregs freezer!

If it doesn't work out he should join the police.

Special branch.

Life´s a beech, take it or leaf it...... my old chestnut

There is a lot of money to be made from Leylandii.

I mean stopping trees growing not lay land on here.

Greg will need to spruce up his wardrobe now he ain't a jockey no mo.

Its just not fir

satchmo predicted Fairley's future a long time ago - " I see trees of green, red roses too........."

Fairley probably one of the tree huggers who sent the millions of postcards to the BHA complaining about the whip - if he couldn't use it any more, didn't see why anyone else should

all these gags and the use of the word 'chop' is a shocking ommission !

did you know Greg's girlfriend is called Olive Branch?

Ashen faced when I last saw him.

has Greg cut down the Bushes at Newmarket yet?

His wife Holly is helping.

and he will be using a london-plane

With the benefit of hindsight should have cedar comments wood have been a thorn in Johnston's side

why use a whole thread to mock him?

How many winners have Yew lot ridden?

don't know how many on here have ridden any winners, but like Fairley, Money Tree has given plenty of Betfairians money making advice

He might twig one day that a jocks life aint so bad.
