With another edition of the historic Sydney Cup coming up on April 11th, it seems an appropriate time to catch up with a man who won it twice as a jockey in 1959 and 1961.

For many decades the NSW Riverina has produced an endless list of outstanding trainers and jockeys. One man to leave his mark as a jockey and trainer is Dave Heywood who retired in 2020 after six decades in the racing industry. (CLICK ON IMAGE FOR MORE PHOTOS)

Great to catch up with Bill Prain who called it quits in 2018 when his great friend and valued client Fred Peisah succumbed to illness. Bill had been adamant for some time that he’d retire if ever Fred left the racing industry. (CLICK ON IMAGE FOR MORE PHOTOS)

Great to catch up with John Morrisey, one of the most astute trainers of his generation. John talks about the move from Canberra to the Gold Coast which came as a surprise to many. (CLICK ON IMAGE FOR MORE PHOTOS)
