Aaron has unfortunately had to end his riding apprenticeship early due to weight and personal issues (his lovely mum has become very sick)

Shame as he showed a tonne of ability, was very good at dictating the pace but could also get a horse to settle well. Never afraid to go for gaps that other jocks wouldnt take.

All the best in the future mate! Maybe one day see you back in the saddle hey

    That's a real shame, I liked the way he rode. All the best to him and of course his Mum.

    in that case, welcome back.

    In amongst the frivolities, it's good to have your input..just not so much..we get it..you like Aaron...that's okay most on here thought he was doing well and had a lot of potential and wish he found himself in a different situation....just that we don't need to be drowning in your accolades...

    You laid it on thick and that then encourages people to take the thread off track...RIO = Guilty as charged, by myself :D

    i was trying to be nice Funky and Duke.......and then they left themselves open with the above statement and now it is very tough to stay nice...but i will

    I'll just say..it will give the site a different view of things...i mean how lucky are we to have a track rider who likes lots of jockeys in our midst...you don't find too many of them now do you???

    It's okay Mark...we dont want or need to know who you are..Your allowed to like Aaron without getting favours from his sister..he was a good jockey..is a good kid and is well respected......although i may have to reconsider that opinion as his sister appears to be struggling with her choices in life??????? =)) =))

    Good on you for sticking up for him...but no-one was anything but complimentary towards him anyway..as you say..all good...but your name is Mark on here...please try and stick to the script
