Jeremy passed away last year - aged 69.
- Kimberley owns a Diamond mine in South Africa. |
|
By:
Very good onlooker.
Kimberley was one of those jockeys who one presumes were basically workriders. I don't remember him riding much for anybody but Hindley and he was usually jocked-off the best rides. My fav jockey,Brian Taylor was retained by Hindley,when he ( Taylor ) appeared to be on the decline and I think Kimberley was still around as 2nd jock. |

By:
They had some great horses over the years.

Thanks onlooker. Didn`t know JH had sadly died. TK seems to have done ok though.

salmon, Tony was a regular rider of Stoute horses and also use to pick up rides for John Winter and Lady Herries amongst others, but is usually associated primarily with the late Jeremy because of the success they shared.
My own memory of him was the rapport he had with Crash Course who provided him with probably one of his biggest victories in the Doncaster Cup. |

By:
I always thought that he must have been a better 'Work Rider' than jockey.
Then again - I always thought Walter Swinburn was vastly overrated ... - and Walter's his woefully weak father, Wally - a hundred times worse. |

Kimberley and Brian Procter were both apprenticed to Sir Gordon Richards and subsequently became two of the most skilled horsemen in the game.
Brian was attached to the hugely successful Dick Hern in Berkshire, preparing many of the stables' classic and big-race winners during a 20 year period. His son Tony is currently employed by Sir Michael Stoute at Newmarket while Procter senior lives quietly in Suffolk. The duo were top quality riders who, although never hitting the headlines a la Lester or Joe Mercer, nevertheless did extremely well out of the game. |

Tony Kimberley, a name from the past! Would love to know what happened to him. Remember him with Jeremy Hindley as having several good horses in the 70's such as Swell Fellow, Crash Course, Be Tuneful, Sin Timon etc.As Cork Langer points out he did ride plenty for Stoute afterwards as well and rode a good Aga Khan one for him in Dancing Brave's Arc.

There's a bit about Tony Kimberley here..
https://sites.google.com/site/jockeypedia/kimberley-tony Although it doesn't say anything about his life after his career as a jockey finished, and I can't find any clues by googling. (..though his last winner on Keswa was at Leicester, not as stated, if you're reading, Shalimah/WHIT). |

Moved to South Africa - a life of luxury.

Jeremy Hindley was a fine trainer. He could often get horses to run up a sequence of wins and places. Powder Keg was a good horse for him.

didnt Huntingdale run in orange/tan colours?
|
|
By:
Three of his horses i remember like yesterday were Moomba Masquerade, Meistersinger And Orojoya. If i remember correctly Meistersinger used to enter a lot of big handicaps but he was too high in the weights and could never win one.

just looked up a pic of the orange and tan colours

@ HQ
with Tromos and Lyhards Wish  |
|
By:
Delta. Was Tromos trained by Bruce Hobbs?
|
|
By:
Yes , Tromos was trained by Hobbs , he recorded such good times as 2yo , the late , great punter Alex Bird thought him a certainty for the 2000 Guineas , Alec retired soon after .
|
|
By:
think TROMOS was ridden by KIPPER LYNCH at least in the Dewhurst,wonder what happened to him
|
|
By:
Huntingdale thought of as the next COMING only ever won ONE race THE DEWHURST in 1985,didnt win as a 3year old before
as a 4year old ran last at Leicester in his only start and was retired |
|
By:
Lynch won the Clarence House and the Dewhurst on him. I think they were the only races the horse ever won. he got beat at long odds on in the Craven and the bubble was burst. In the Clarence House, he won by about 12 lengths, and beat a highly regarded 2yo of D1ck Hern's called Milford - and afterwards he got that famous quote of Lynch's where he said that he gave Tromos a kick in the belly and "it all went quiet".

*on Tromos

By:
Didn't Kipper Lynch have a nasty accident which put paid to the rest of his career?
|
|
By:
pro photographer,I think
|
|
By:
He Loves Me, another Hindley horse worth mentioning. Won the Hungerford though remember him in the earlier stages of his career winning a race and in the process bursting the hype bubble of a Hislop owned half brother to Brigadier Gerard called St Petersburg.
|
|
By:
lead on - Who was it that owned Vincent? Was it Daniel Prenn or am I mistaken?
|
|
By:
George Cambanis owned Tromos. Black colours with white spots. Stilvi, a good sprinter in her own right, produced some terrific horses when retired to stud. I remember Tromos, Tyranavos and Tachypous but what were the other good uns she produced?
|
|
By:
Stilvi's offspring
1974 - Tachypous by Hotfoot 1975 - Taxiarchos by Brigadier Gerard 1976 - Tromos by Busted 1977 - Tyrnavos by Blakeney 1978 - Tolmi by Great Nephew 1979 - Tenea by Reform 1980 - 1981 - Telios by Mill Reef 1982 - Tanagrea by Blakeney 1983 - Tanaos by Grundy 1984 - Trikymia by Final Straw 1985 - Tilefos by Shirley Heights 1986 - Toxotis by Pharly |
|
By:
Thanks corky.
Didn`t realise that Tachypous was her first foal. Tolmi was very good, her sire Great Nephew was also the sire of Grundy. Can`t think of any other very good horses by Great Nephew. Anybody? Is it mere coincidence that she produced nothing of note following her barren year? |
|
By:
Limited success in Europe mac, had more success in the States, but Shergar and Mrs Penny weren't too shabby...!
|
|
By:
Bruce Hobbs won the Grand National at 17 yrs 3 months. An awesome effort.
Tyrnavos finished second in the Dewhurst behind Monteverdi. Other runners included Henbit, Romeo Romani, Marathon Gold and Final Straw. The older punters will remember most of those ! |
|
By:
It`s the whisky corky mate, it`s damaging my brain cells
 Shergar of course  Mrs Penny was a cracker. Who was her owner again? Can see his colours, black, white crossbelts, red cap but can`t remember his name? |
|
By:
He Loves Me,there's a blast from the past,won the cork and orrery,Cloonlara fav w/d deduction 30p in the pound.
