Any one remember Richard Davies a young conditional killed at Southwell.<br>He looked like an angel and had the manours of a saint. how he ever got into horseracing I dont know he seemed to be so soft and shy.

He was educated at Flyford Flavell a little county village between Worcester and Stratford a few miles from Inkberrow.

He was a twin and I had the pleasure of training the school first and second year team soccer..aged 7/8 my two sons were in the squad along with Richard and his twin.brother.

We left the district and I didnt see the boys again for 12 years when I was betting at Newton Abott.

"Helo My Butler" <br>———————<br>You are Richard,,, "yes I am a jockey"…<br>I never lost interest in his carrier and would shout him home when ever he rode a winner.<br>They say that he was well loved by all those who rode with him. <br>Tony Macoy always gave him encouragment.

Richard loved to partisipate in Kharioki sessions where is standing dish was

"American Pie"

You are very much missed Richard. hope I see you again one day and I will tell you that in person.

Funny that I should stumble across this thread now- Richard Davis is the Jockey that Sean Magee had been preparing to write about, in a book about the life of the ‘ordinary’ jump jockey. <br>Of course he was killed while the idea was still being discussed. The book went ahead with another jockey, Guy Lewis. I can recommend it to any racing fan with any interest in what goes on ‘behind the scenes’. The parts about Richard are hard going though, very sad.<br>http://www.amazon.co.uk/Win-Just-Once-Journeyman-Jockey/dp/0747220441/sr=8-2/qid=1164573291/ref=sr_1_2/026-0556607-0871611?ie=UTF8&s=books<br&gt;
