STEVE HART CATCHES UP WITH LARRY CASSIDY WHO LOOKS BACK ON A STELLAR RIDING CAREER AND OUTLINES FUTURE PLANS

Steve cranked up his dual purpose camera recently and flew to Brisbane to catch up with recently retired Larry Cassidy. The highly popular jockey was forced into retirement late last year when a complicated injury to his left index finger failed to show the anticipated improvement. Multiple surgeries and endless rehabilitation had finally exhausted Larry’s patience. He brought down the curtain on a career that had produced an amazing 2847 wins, 40 Gr 1’s and four jockey’s premierships - three in Sydney and a dead heat with the late Stathi Katsidis in Brisbane. Larry Cassidy’s reputation as a media friendly jockey remains intact as Steve Hart found out.
