Brilliant stuff Leigh, thanks for posting it. Gotta love:
"But after working Baldy last Wednesday I went inside and told my wife I thought we should have a wee bet on the horse this week. I also told her to keep it quiet, because I didn't want every bugger knowing."
Hat's off to Bill and Baldy! Brilliant job jumping in an out of the cart at that age, I'd be calling "nurse"!
Ok maybe jumping might be stretching it lol.
Great story, thanks Leigh, hope I'm still kicking at 93 let alone training one or two!
Fantastic story Leigh, I heard Bill mention that this Saturday, He's been married for 73 Years, That must be some type of record.
The only thing that saved the marriage was his good record for the first 53 yrs for as you know Horses = Divorces :)
Kev. You know its easier to get a good horse than it is to get a good woman!;)
Leigh, I've got a good Woman but she's no horse fan. Have mentioned to a few friends that if I ever win the Lottery, I'll take them to the USA for the Jug and my missus can take the girls on a shopping expedition, At my expense of cause and it could be costly as the Jug carnival runs over 3 days and my ears would get some much needed rest.
