Steve Drowne

ill, sadly

Thanks Delta. Nature of the illness ?

I'm pretty sure the BBC pictures showed him in the weighing room at Epsom today

Steve was having dizzy spells, and not aloud to ride or drive, there still not sure what or why.

He fainted or had a black out at home which when revealed meant he couldn't drive or ride but it seems like it was a one off and tests found nothing, so he hopes to be back soon when given the all clear but has still been riding out in the mornings at Roger Charlton's.

I suppose it a similar situation to when Alan Munro had a fit that time and had to take time off until being medically passed to ride again.

similar, to Alan Monro, went racing a couple of times with AM, when he came back.

munro good on sprinters good drive style won the derby on generous aswell

chaveman, that is the sort of talk you get in racing, particularly in the press and tv, talk talkers, it's called waffle, it was sort of contradicting yourself,'good on sprinters but won the derby', i think you will find Alan got that tag because he rode for Bill O'Gorman, and Bill did sort of specialise with sprinters. mainly precocious 2yo's that he would sell on, Alan rode Bill's Timeless Times 2yo 16 or wins, and rode Bill's good sprinter Macs Imp, so as like Geoff Lewis at one time rode a fair few sprinters for Epsom trainer like the Sutcliffs and Staf Ingham, the press said he could only ride sprinters, "Mill Reef, springs to mind", so cavman, i dont think your that new to this game, and Alan like Geoff Lewis, were and in Alan's case, still is more than capable of ridding winners over any trip. as i said, "Press Waffle".

succesful in hong kong for a while.i was only commenting on his low drive style which i personally thought suitable for sprinting

his new style, he has not really changed his style for the past 10 years. did have a style of his own in his younger days.

stonewash jeans and a burgundy y cardigan

Hopefully Steven Drowne shall soon be resuming his career and good luck to him, one of my favourite jockeys and a heluva nice fella with it.

Know Steve very well, and i could'nt agree more.
