@mjyharris Thank you for taking the time to write this Michael, explaining. There are those unfortunately that would rather think and see the worst rather than believe the true character of the man and ultimately the love there is for the horses.
@XI11sport@TurfTactics@nickluck Are you missing the point, he is riding them & winning on them ? You will have heard it said Jump jockeys are a different breed Their athleticism is incredible, if I was Willie’s son I would bloody fall off, not be top amateur. It’s a tough sport & he mixes it with the best imo.
@TurfTactics@XI11sport@nickluck Most successful Irish amateur of all time, current season strike rate 28% … you are obviously aware that all jockeys ride losers, maybe you had a fiver on a sure thing turned over ?? You certainly sound like you are talking from your pocket anyway.
@TriciaGlenM@NaomiSky_15@GBPolitcs Our country is in the worst state it’s ever been, our royal family and our history are the only things currently giving us pride and some respect. They bring in a lot of revenue via tourism and also key in fostering relations with other countries.
@mjyharris She’s stunning Michael and appears to have that slight dish of her forefathers the Darley Arabian … Those ears, she looks a proper sweetheart and very genuine.
@skyndray@RacingPost I think that’s a fair question … and them actually winning as rare as hen’s teeth. I guess the owner wanted a runner but ultimately he went wrong on the flat, which can and heartbreakingly does happen anywhere with horses, not just racing. RIP Hansard
@mjyharris Beautiful, simply beautiful photograph and words …
If you ever publish a book of your stunning photographs,please may it also contain your beautiful words and understanding …. unique Michael ❤️
@mjyharris Beautiful picture Micheal. Sad to see him go … remember him as the young pup, so confident, so exuberant. I was gutted he didn’t win last year Gold Cup last year & sad now he won’t get the chance, in my eyes an all time great up there with the very best. Happy retirement Galopin
