The combo which kick started my love for the game & betting career was Gerald Boy, trained by Johnny Nicholson & jock was Gerald Turner.
I was taken to most of his races & had my first bet, a winning one, on him when I was 13 years old.
Needless to say, its all gone downhill since then.

My love affair with racing started with WOLF POWER and JEFF LLOYD.

Two of the greats of the SA turf!!!!

Growing up, my other favourite horses were Town Council, Wagga Wagga & Tribesman.
I dont remember the connections. :unsure:

Swan Prince with Lester in the saddle was one of the best rides Ive ever seen, brilliant.
