Roy Prince – I won the first novice chase of the season on him (89/90)

… not many jockey’s ride the winner of this race – only one a year!

After winning this race he ran several times very quickly on hard ground, eventually breaking down very badly at Bangor-on-Dee and when he came back to racing the following year he was a horrible ride, he would run right handed at every jump and would literally take other runners with him in the process… he hung badly to the right

I rode Roy Prince 15 times all over fences

Sayant… I won this all weather claiming hurdle at Southwell on him, which is sort of a real big deal (not) but it was the relief of winning that gave me satisfaction… in a previous race I’d finished 3rd on Sayant in a seller (also at Southwell) when I got shut in by a loose horse, by the time we got some daylight the race was over… after the race I got the most almighty bollocking by the trainer so getting a win on Sayant was pleasing

New Ollerton Novices Hurdle

2/3/1990 I rode Prince Celtic 6/1 in the New Ollerton Novices Hurdle at Southwell Racecourse and Finished 3rd / 6 ran. Prince Celtic was having his second run on the all weather at Southwell, this time over 2 miles 6 furlongs which was another half a mile more than the first effort.

The horse wore blinkers and I found he didn’t like the sand kicking up in his face, I don’t blame him I didn’t like it much either. As a result we got behind… the horse running as if he was outpaced until he got going a bit in the second half of the race and stayed on into a well beaten 3rd.

Prince Celtic never ran on the all weather again. He was placed several times (over hurdles, all-weather hurdles and fences)… we had a couple of 2nds, four 3rds and 4th in a novice chase at Uttoxeter on Midlands Grand National Day… but the horse never won a race and to this day I don’t know why he wore blinkers.

Freddy Dixon Memorial Trophy Handicap Chase

Uttoxeter Racecourse
Freddy Dixon Memorial Trophy Handicap Chase Result
Ardent Spy 1st/6

When we won this race Ardent Spy he was 13 years old and it had been 6 years since his previous victory and to put it bluntly, if the horse hadn’t had training problems when he was younger then I would have never got to ride him, he’d of been running at Cheltenham, Ascot and Sandown rather than Uttoxeter, Southwell and Ludlow… the horse’s problems turned into a bit of luck for me!

We won the Freddy Dixon Memorial Chase at Uttoxeter and I think winning a race run in the memory of a jockey who was killed riding in a race is an honour

Freddy Dixon is buried locally to where I live and the words written on his grave stone are something to go and have a read
