    Andrew Castle suffered a neck injury in a race fall and further riding would have put him at serious risk of a bad injury.
    Retired, underrated jockey IMO

    Saw him at the car place and had a good chat to him. Long story short, told him a story about a tip we got on a horse called Octalert. Horse ridden by Willie himself. Octalert was a crazy horse, wore pacifiers to try and calm it down but the tip was strong from a reliable source. Anyway me and a mate go down to Pinj to back it. We got on, only to be rolled by a nose by an 80/1 pop. Only thing we could afford on the way home was a 30c ice cream from maccas hahaah. We had a good laugh telling the story, he even remembered the race.

    yeah, lee newman. i had dinner with him one night along with ........ he's good conversationalist and an all round nice guy. i broke him up with the following story.

    a young girl from glasgow takes a skirt into a drycleaners.
    "can i ha it back be 5 o'clock"
    the drycleaner was somewhat deaf and cupped his ear "come again"
    " nay, this time its mayonaise"

    isn't ther an age limit on jocks?
    what on earth has posessed him, imagine the physical rigours he must go thru.
    you'd think his family would say "whoa old fella, back to the spelling greenery"

    with cjp and cp and his brothers virtually having a mortgage on all the good sits i'd say a 62yo on the come back trail is in for a pretty hard slog.
    BUT there are trials...how much a ride these days?
