Richard Melia, who here knows him ?!

Amazing how far a lanyard will get you. Jockey Club tracks are on to him so don't expect to see him at the Guineas.

alright Shaun,

I used to talk to him 30 years ago down the Corals Crouch Street

A few years ago we went to the Uttoxeter evening meeting and he judged the best dressed lady comp with some boy band. No one knew who the fluck he was but no one wanted to challenge him. lol

he was there with the gold cup owner while he was being interviewed live on telly and started shaking his hand,

the owner looked blankly at him

Totally interrupted the interview. You see him on the grid at the Bahrain G.P last year?

blimey no,

I knew his dad was very rich but not he

His Dad died a good few years ago.

are you still knocking about with Vik and the boys ?!

Vik is a wrong'un. Don't see much of Ruds but going to the National meeting with him and Mike Yeldham. Why don't you come up with us?

I see he's made the racing post. lol

RP soiling themselves over this non story.....no doubt get one of their "Writers of the year" to pen a piece

It was funny when Lydia was interviewing Potts after the Gold Cup, cos she thought Melia was trying to stop him speaking to her.  Potts just looked bemused as she blew him out and went to talk to Jessie Harrington instead.

Good story,a little confidence goes a long way,we have our own glory hunter,he's been doing it just as long over here,harmless.
