Mark Five Amateur Riders Handicap Chase

Worcester Racecourse
Crowecopper
Finished 3rd / 16 ran
Result

2/3/1988 I rode Crowecopper 11/2 in the Mark Five Amateur Riders Handicap Chase at Worcester Racecourse and we Finished 3rd / 16 ran. Henderson’s horse Cumrew ridden by Jamie Railton (the favourite) made the running until it fell 3 from home leaving Crowecopper and myself in front which wasn’t an ideal situation for my horse (as he would think he’d already won)… however, at this point we had to make the best of our way home. Crowecopper jumped the next well but on the run to the last a couple of the others (both big odds) came past us and we finished 3rd, beating Kim Bailey’s runner a short head into 4th place.

Duncrievie Handicap Chase

Perth Racecourse
Baluchi
Finished 1st / 6 ran

I won three races out of seven riding Baluchi
… Ludlow, Market Rasen and this race at Perth

I remember the first time we won at Ludlow, as I was being legged up on Baluchi, the trainer says to me “If you don’t win, don’t come f?cking back!”
“That’s nice” I thought

We’d won 3 races on the bounce together then he ran in the Holman Cup at Cheltenham and I was jocked off… Baluchi pulled up

7 rides on Baluchi all over fences
3x 1st
1x 2nd
2x 3rd
1x 4th
