Probert in Hong Kong

Never achieved a group one considering he was attached to a group one barn…..says a lot for Balding imv….not good.

sageform will break you for that comment formotheace

maybe he just needed to freshen up, must be a slog riding second-rate horses round Lingfield aw or over Wilson Avenue (lordy every race!) at Brighton

No bad intention towards Probert east C……just having a dig at Balding….

Probert came onto the scene alongside Buick,Buick got the break…..Stoute used Probert a bit….a solid rider tbh

Sageform big Balding fan ace.... backs them blindly at times or did

Noticed young Mia Nicholls at Gulfstream the other night,a good few flying the nest…can’t blame them tbf

I suppose we all have our favourite yards EC….

He had seven winners not long ago with a couple of wild prices,hope he boxed them up….

been in the game a long time believe he was attached to Dick Hern at one time, was involved in the famous Nashwan gallop when most of Lambourn were on before the guineas

you sure you nor t confusing probert with proctor lockup ? apologies if i am wrong ,easily confused these days

Defo Foyles, Nashwan was 1989, Probert not riding then

just looked it up probert was born in 1988

I had a mate who had a horse with Dick Hern in the late 80s...he was told about the Nashwan gallop and we all had a few quid on

Yes Foyles must be my mistake I just remember Carson telling the story said the other horse was meant to lead until a certain point then Nashwan take over but Nashwan was too fast right from the get go and won by a distance.

Zero winners. Not a success.

Ollie in Riyadh. The prize money eclipses Wincanton and Ascot.

He didn't get a single ride on a favourite or even one priced under 3/1. Poor show by the trainers over there not to give him a ride on one with at least a chance.
