We celebrate the
enduring legacy
of the legendary mentor of jockeys
PLUS
COLM MURPHY talks to David Jennings
about life after
BIG ZEB and VOLER LA VEDETTE.
“Now it’s a case of trying to find
the next one.”
"GRAHAM
BRADLEY, one of the most controversial characters in British racing,
takes
the first step towards joining the training ranks next week.
"The
former jockey turned bloodstock agent is due at the British Racing
School
in
Newmarket
programme of
seminars costing candidates wishing to join the profession more than
£2,000.
We are told, lip service, by the British hoseracing government (BHA) that Britain
structure, without a professional wage structure, and with no recognition as to bloodhorse
literacy standard abilities achieved These bloodhorse illiterate BHA government authorities will soon be advising the general public that racehorses can be trained in a 'Chicken Run'
"Bradley,
52, was one of the finest riders of his generation and won a string of
major
races including the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Hennessy Gold Cup
and
King George VI Chase during a career that featured horses like Wayward Lad -
the title
of
his autobiography - Bregawn and Collier
Bay
for
the wrong reasons, most notably when warned off for five years passing
information
to
Brian Wright, who was subsequently jailed for 30 years in 2007 after being
found guilty
of
running a cocaine empire.
"Bradley's
ban ended in 2009 and he returned to the saddle the following year to take part
in the Leger Legends charity race at Doncaster , but his appearance prompted criticism of the BHA among sections of the media for approving the one-race license in the light of his disciplinary record.
"Contacted
by the Racing Post, Bradley admitted he was taking the trainers' course, but
was
uncharacteristically
coy about his plans, saying he was "waiting for two or three things to
happen" before he could discuss the matter.
"Although
unwilling to say whether he had owners lined up, or from what stable he would
train, Bradley, when asked if he thought he would get a license, replied, "fingers crossed" before adding "I can't say anything until I've finished all the courses."
"BHA
spokesman Robin Mounsey said: "First time applicants for licenses to train
are required to demonstrate or confirm they meet the established criteria which include, but are
not limited to, that they have the competence and capability to train, they have access to appropriate training facilities, and that they are otherwise, in all circumstances, suitable to hold a license, i.e.that they are ' fit and proper' . On who's terms? The bloodhorse literate? Or the bloodhorse illiterate'. Any application received by Graham Bradley for a license to train would be treated in this manner.
"Attendance
on the trainers' course modules forms part of the license criteria, but in no
way
does
attendance indicate that a license application will be approved. The BHA
determines
applications
in accordance with Schedule (A) 9 of the rules of racing."
