LUKE NOLEN BLACK CAVIAR'S JOCKEY ON THAT RIDE AT ROYAL ASCOT

BLACK CAVIAR WINS 22nd RACE AT ROYAL ASCOT   2012

Nicholas Godfrey speaks to Black Caviar's jockey about the Royal Ascot ride that almost went down in racing infamy. "I was the talking point - that's my cross to bear."






"IT WAS one of the most memorable images of the summer; a shellshocked jockey clutching a tinny for dear life as he fends off a barrage of questions from the media about his role in one of the most extraordinary races ever seen at Royal Ascot.

 
"The rider in question was Luke Nolan. Or, to borrow some of the headlines that were soon to be attached to the three-time Melbourne champion, Flukey Lukey", the "Blunder from Down Under" who had just offered his own "moment of strewth" on the great Black Caviar, coming within a couple of inches of a lasting place in racing infamy when he suffered his notorious  "brainfade" in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes .......

LEE MOTTERSHEAD  "OAKSEY RECALLED FONDLY BY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES

"The many facets that made John Oaksey one of racing's most revered figures  were yesterday remembered  as his family, friends, colleagues and admirers honoured him at a London memorial  service.

 

"Two months on from the death of the former jockey, journalist, author, broadcaster and charity worker, the first of two services being held this week predictably drew a huge turnout.

 

"The Princess Royal, Nicky Henderson, J P McManus, Ian Balding, Toby Balding, Edward Gillespie, Ian Renton and the Racing Post's Alastair Down  were among those who joined Oaksey's family at St Paul's in Wilton Place, Knightsbridge , where Brough Scott described his former Channel 4 colleague as "a mix of the old and the young".

 

"Scott said in his address: "John had a judge's brain and a child's enthusiasm.  In speech or on the page, he had a clear, strong insightful but generous authority. In the saddle, even when he got pretty good at it, he never lost the boyish thrill and wonder of being able to do it at all.

 

"If, in many ways John was old-fashioned enough to belong to another era, in the most important ones he was proudly so.

 

"Because he rightly espoused those old-fashioned virtues which insist that with privilege comes responsibility , that achievement should always be tempered by compassion and that in the end helping others can be the finest of fulfilment ."

 

"During the service, Edward Cazalet spoke warmly about his lifelong friendship with Oaksey, while John Francome - recently appointed president of the Injured Jockeys Fund that Oaksey founded - remembered a conversation  with his Channel 4 colleague at Newmarket, where Oaksey told Francome he hated the sound of his own voice. "Would you rather have mine?" asked Francome. After a long contemplated pause, Oaksey answered: "Perhaps not".

 

"Readings were also given by grandchildren Alfie Bradstock and Calypso Lawrence, while the service fittingly included a collection for the IJF. A second memorial service takes place at Oaksey's local church, All Saints, Oaksey, near Malmesbury in Wiltshire, at 2pm on Friday".

LORD OAKSEY AND THE MARINSKY CONNECTION

trainer

VINCENT O'BRIEN
 1917-2009:

 

1975

MARINSKY cost $225,000 as a yearling 

 

1976

MARINSKY won his only race at two and believed to be Vincent O’Brien’s main classic prospect for 1977.

 

1977

Beaten by DON in the St. James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot,

June 1977 2/7 Fav


MARINSKY - 1977 and St James's Palace and July runner-up

Trained by Vincent O'Brien - won his only outing as a juvenile, in 1976.

MARINSKY actually WON the July Cup - but was disqualified for minor accidental interference.

Vincent vowed NOT to run the horse in England again.

Later in the season,  Marinsky died from Colic.
 
1977
 
 
DIOMED STAKES EPSOM  and  JULY CUP NEWMARKET


Marinsky  contested the Diomed Stakes at Epsom, and after trying to savage Relkino at least three times while rounding Tattenham Corner, refused to go through with his effort when having the race at his mercy. Equipped with blinkers and a muzzle, Marinsky threw away his next race in similar fashion. 
 Before the year was out, Marinsky was dead from a twisted gut.




MARINSKY'S final racecourse appearance came in the six furlongs July Cup, where he toyed with the field that included the year's top sprinter, Godswalk, but swerved violently left in the final furlong, making disqualification inevitable.
 
MARINSKY actually WON the July Cup
but was disqualified for minor accidental interference.


 
LORD OAKSEY spoke up about the battle that went on in the 1977 July Cup between MARINSKY partner LESTER PIGGOTT and GENTILHOMBRE partner PAUL COOK . MARINSKY won but the race went to GENTILHOMBRE in the Stewards Room with MARINSKY demoted to 2nd.
 
 
 

On the following Saturday afternoon C4 Racing, Lord Oaksey spoke up about this race and showed a replay,  he further wrote an article about the race which was published in the Sunday Telegraph  

"Punishment to Fit the Crime"

 
Lord Oaksey found Lester Piggott at least guilty of careless riding and that the horse was blamed by the stewards

IN LORD OAKSEY'S MEMORY,   and in true thanks for all he did throughout his lifetime for British horseracing  we now all need to join up and work to ensure that the true bloodhorse
literacy balance  at the top table within the British horseracing government stewarding and licensing departments are changed to embrace and understand fully not only our own needs in a horseracing environment but the needs of the beautiful creatures who make horseracing possible for us every day. Our own Queen Elizabeth is deeply concerned about the vital need  for true understanding between people and horses the reason why she invited Monty Roberts to come and stay with her at Windsor Castle in 1981.
