Many of you know Richard went to Hong Kong at the end of last season and thanks to great support from our own Tony Milard was able to achieve one of the best first season results for a new jock in Hong Kong for many years.The good news is that we are getting him back next season which will bring some much needed talent back to the Cape riding ranks

FR, any idea why he is coming back? If I had done well over there I would be staying and not coming back. Dream job is it not?

Yes i hear the family hasn't settled in well and Richard still has unsettled business here ( champion jockey ) , having spoken to lots of jocks that have been to HK they all agree the money can be great but your lifestyle is rather controlled and i know Richard is passionate about fishing too which there is a big lack of over there. Richard is still young, i'm sure he will go back one day.

nice guy aside, this is really what sets the top apart from the great. Its when you young you got to seize the world not when you older, its that youthful confidence and balls that seperates the good from the great.

Not every sportsman has it and its not a criticism of those that fail, its just the way it is.
