are you talking …
are you talking about jim mcgrath?
if so, he’s a con man and a liar and a cheat.
NEVER trust a man who talks to you with his eyes closed.
mcgrath does this all the time.
i kid you not. look at him the next time you see him talking on tv.
as conniving as a box of monkeys.
avoid him like the plague.

you have taken my …
you have taken my comment on lester in the wrong context pal.
i said lkp was unbeatable at riding a finish because he WAS unbeatable, meaning there was no on better at riding a finish than him.
i have never said it in the context of him winning every tight finish that he was ever involved in.!
that would be ridiculous! i’m surprised you couldn’t see my real meaning! he was the worlds greatest jockey ..by a long way. and forget the rest, they never had to starve like lester did.

Dont get me wrong …
Dont get me wrong frankie dettorie, jonny murtagh, hayley turner all very good jockeys. Its even great to see kieron fallon back. But Lester had a true feeling for the horse, he knew exactly where he had to put them according to the race and the conditions, a true genius who will take some beating as the best jockey of all time.

Back in early 80s, …
Back in early 80s, I witnessed Lester’s magic in Hong Kong. He wrote an 11 year old horse named Nazkrat in the stretch and was passed by a very nice 4 year old colt. Somehow he squeezed that last drop from the old horse and retook the lead and won the race. You don’t see that from a old horse. They usually are done when passed by a better and younger horse. It was eye-opening. Although it was a minor stakes race but that was the best race I have ever seen.
