Can anyone identify this Jockey?

Could it be Robert Sivewright - was his regular rider in 1963?

I think Don is right (tu)

Sure its Aiden and Jimmy that run the above site and they say it`s definately not Sivewright and they think it looks like an appie?

Charles Laird has just come to the rescue, and, would you believe, I was looking for a pic of this person yesterday, to include in the Charles Laird interview which flights on "Stable Talk" tomorrow morning at 06h45. It is Claudie Allen, who was an apprentice at the time, and who finished 4th on Hyacinth, for Syd Laird, in the Durban July of 1961. Laird won the race with Kerason.

Allen, who once occupied the stables now occupied by Charles Laird, at Clairwood, was the godfather of Therese Laird (Mitchley).

Wow, remember Claude Allen and his Stetson saddling Brian Strydom in the Clairwood Park heydays, most of his horses racing in his brothers colors, W.Allen, I think.

I don't really remember Claude Allen, except for seeing his name in the racecard, but yes, Brian Strydom rode some nice outsiders for him...(tu) gave some other jocks some chances too.

I spoke to and old trainer He says the rider is Claude Walker who won Syd Lairds first
JUly on Kerason He was Lairds apprentice Claude Allen was a jockey by the time Colorado King was foaled
1959 Therefore he MAY be right

Hi Elmer,the guys from Legends of the turf are asking if you know walker is still with us/alive..?

Not sure he used to train in P.E a few years back

The jockey who rode Hyacinth was definitely Claude Allen, and that's the jockey in the photograph, according to Charles Laird.

Uncle Claude Walker is still alive, living in PE. I can get his number if required by Neighmaster.
