M Ferguson ( who i rate as a driver ) who normally drives it - i see he is over in Sydney driving some of Shane Trittons horses - probably works for him
Just looking at the results yesterday...Chris Lewis in the top four finish about 6 times...Chris Alford driving as well as ever...the competiveness in those two blokes continues unabated.
Glen Davies and Bernie Duggan - both angry ants. Danny Miller would've ridden against all the above, which goes to show his longevity in the game.
Recall seeing JJ ride at Pinjarra one day ( might have been around the time Family Of Man came over here and won at Pinjarra ) he was all class, the synchronisation between him and horse was a sight to see.
Was in the leger when Allegation defeated Tom Graham aboard Kabooki in the Perth Cup and the boos who could forget!
For that brief moment without even realising wasn't all that far away from the Phar Lap time. Close as ever got.
Three words summed Tommy Woodcock up from seeing him work that Saturday - attention to detail.

Got a feeling too that he was one of the old fashioned blokes who liked to chew gum.

Bart apparently rated Miller as his best ever jockey - i read that Miller used to ring Bart every Sunday night - before he got sick
I allways wondered at the time - whether that was the former top jockey - the one who had a great association with the top sprinter Coal Pak

Fair Sir put the lot on him a place in the million dollar race, watched the race watch up near the top of the straight ( liked the solitude ) and as they went passed me thought he was really struggling - certainly misread that, as in reality he forged away to win the race.
Recall too having a decent place bet on a Frank Ellis mare long time ago - was about a 8 or 9yr old mare - but she ran a drum and was quite handy there for a little while - name escapes.
