Our Great Jockeys

Any recent news about Jeff's condition?

Whyte's being seriously challenged for his 13th straight title right now. He had just managed to get past Zac Purton and build up a small lead (6 wins) when he copped a 2-meeting ban, yesterday and the next meeting. Purton proceeded to take 3 wins at yesterday's meeting, so its very much a case of Game On.

Even if Doug gets beat this year he has done us proud.

Agree 100%, Doug White has nothing left to prove. (and imho, Hong Kong hand out bannings like my old school maths teacher used to hand out detentions, if you so much as dropped your pencil on the floor. But that's only my perspective)

The jockey on the right the mighty Michael Roberts, should be Sir M.Roberts.

Really was a fan of " Big Race " Bertie Hayden. His wins on most of Syd Laird's horses to name a few Yataghan, Mazarin,Archangel,Politician which included 3 July's ,2 Mets, a few Guineas in Durban and JHB, Champion Stakes, Dingaans, a few Queens Plates, SA 2OOO now Daily news 2OOO, Gordons now Greyville 1900 and many many more.

Bertie also won the Met on Bahadur and the Gold Cup on Furious.He also Rode the Jackpot at a Milnerton meeting.

is the tall jock Bloomberg or Malherbe?

Gavin Brown who was chief at Scottsville. Note the grass was greener on the other side?:
