The Anonymous Widower

I’ve Had A Colourful Life, But I’m Not Finished Yet!

These were Frankie Dettori‘s words today after he won the Derby today on Golden Horn.

Frankie rode for C and myself several times and he is very much a genuine what-you-see-is-what-you-get person, who is the life and soul of any group. But then most jockeys are like that and many have fought back from terrible problems, circumstances or injuries.

I do think that over the last few years, my experience of horse racing and its people has helped me pull through all my troubles.

On the other hand,. having paternal and maternal male lines of Jewish and Huguenot origin respectively and a grandmother born in London of a stubborn Devonian line, isn’t a disadvantage to survival.

My life may not have been colourful, but I’m certainly not finished yet!
