Taken from the last paragraph of Alan Lee’s column in the Times
"Hayley Turner is a newly elected council member of the Jockeys’ Association, confirming the respect she has earned from the male majority. A scrutiny of her recent rides, however, might almost suggest someone is handpicking horse names to flatter the flagbearer for girl power. They include Little Miss Whizzy, Forces Sweetheart, What A Treasure, Turn Me On and City Minx. "

I like Lydia Hislop a lot, but I also like the sound of Ryan Moore as an interviewee! A kind of equestrian House, the surly, cantankerous diagnostician.
Jockyship is no laughing matter, of course, but I much prefer dry dark humour to a Bernie Winters type of affableness (nice bloke though he doubtless is in real life). I’m really looking forward to seeing the "suppressed rage"!
Lydia Hislop’s reaction, seems characteristically feminine, and makes it all the funnier to read. Her waspish "…charitably interpeted as shyness" was hilarious. <br>
