It does happen as I have seen the downfall of a former star apprentice first hand.

cheers
Linda did pretty well as an apprentice, rode many winners in the Great Southern especially. Was apprenticed to Len Morton, then with Paul Jordan I think. Like many of the female jockeys though, when the claim went, the rides dried up a fair bit.
Also won an Apprentices Cup on Burning Pago.

cheers mate any idea wat happened to bill Ransom i remember when he retired wasn't that old /heavy
How true it was didn't matter...I had privileged information!
piston will agree, in those days the apprentice lived with his host trainer..sometimes in the hay loft.
got about 10/- a week pocket money, had to be home on sat. night by 11pm..just after the "flicks" finished....oh so different now.
got out of their time with a fist full of quids/dollars, no financial guidance, a flash yank car, a big titted blowsy blonde, scumbags hanging off him...a road to no where.
can name a few that piston would know...MD, RS, MR etc etc
