Where is the "star" jockey racing needs

[steveh31]

Daft you may think it is but its generated four pages of replies in a day which is what the point of the forum is to get people talking, anyway I meant where is the star either a nice guy who the public loves or a bad boy who the public will love at the moment there isnt really either in racing.

I think there is more than enough colourful characters in racing,
Mc Cririck,
Dettori,
Thompson [love him or lump him]
Francome,
even the po faced trainer brigade have a few fun characters,
Chapple Hyam
Channon,
and last and certainly not least, the always batty
Oliver Brady,

Most will remain anonymous outside of racing circles, as horse racing is a minority sport, apart from the National, derby & the racing festivals the public at large couldn’t give a flying hoot about our beloved sport.

Jockeys are not supposed to be "stars". Ryan is very open and honest with the owners on the day….and I’m delighted he has no time for the cameras and interviews. Thats why he will be walking the course whilst Frankie is appearing on Ready Steady Cook!!

Actually his father was quiet a colourful character, well his red shirts were.

If you’re looking for ‘star’ who’s only to be judged on jockeyship, look no further than William Buick – the guy’s pure class.
