Norma Macauley

I thought Norma and Robert Cooper were an item.

No, he released her a few years ago

Mrs Macauley's father was Arthur Scobie the biggest gambler in the country

between the World wars, there are no flies on our Norma.

I learn something everyday,wee eck.

trained Elton Ledger to win SEVENTEEN RACES, all at southwell, having got him after he'd won a seller on fibresand; remarkable gelding, once trained by the late alex scott.
she was a fine trainer, wonderful feeder and as gary wiltshire, one of The Posse, who owned him, said, 'she feeds 'em like she feeds 'erself!'
great memories but where is THAT hat?

watchit are you kidding, always thought that Norma was happily married.

watchit I have a feeling that Arthur Scobie was Australian

norma was a good trainer garys mi odds went from a claimer to run in a group race a shame that the jockey decieded to take a tug in the group race, i like them hollands pies

Norma + Robert = Gary

did she ever work for walter wharton?

her husband Donald left her in about '93. I had plenty of jockey bookings from her and met her a few times at the tracks. She's a top woman imo.I was delighted to see her today in apparent good health.

are you sure 'her husband Donald left her...?'
ask her good friend gary wiltshire, he might just give you a truthful account!
her training of fourwalk was a master-piece and she knew the time of day, especially at five in the morning.

she told me that was the case

.

The first four posts on here are Gold  - So - I repeat ... and add a fifth ...

Is she still married to Engelbert Humperdink.?

Looks more like it was Arthur Scargill

What was her best flat horse onlooker?

Didn't she train Mi Odds, owned by Gary Wiltshire? Landed a right punt at Wolverhampton I think it was @ 25/1.

Correct Slippy

is she still alive

MI ODDS ran - just the 104 times

Wins were ...

The Wolverhampton 25/1 Win was it's best ever performance - However ...

How could ANY horse have  - "landed a right punt at Wolverhampton" - and, STILL, have gone off at 25/"?

REALLY  ?
