Brian Andrews

Cliff Brierley

John Grylls

Alwyn Tweedie

 

Tweeds 🙂  what a lovely man.  He stayed with us at the racecourse at Trentham when he came down to ride.    

Love this quote 🙂 

Later they had to deal with veteran rider Alwyn Tweedie flourishing his whip a stride before the winning post when successful on Kaimata Bronco.

It was Tweedie's 100th winner at Ellerslie and the 50-something rider came up with the best quote of the carnival in the judicial room.

Asked to comment on his against-the-rules whip flourish Tweedie said: "Well, I guess I can't blame youthful exuberance, so I plead guilty."

 

Also PJ, did The Babe ride Marie Kay?

That has a ring to it and sums him up beautifully lol

and probably just as well for you that I am, Hesi-meister...particularly in view of the fact that PJ's 'Miles away' response was to a wild speculator from Rob, not Max.

My guesses today

R Lang

W Cardwell

H Mathews.

still more on the books but running out quick.

PWJ i watched a 2021 interview with Maryliyn McCOO and her husband.Aged 79 she still looks good but i think if she had chosen me with all my tenderness and love to offer she would look even better.

Mainly discussed Laura Nyro songs with Wedding Bell Blues getting the most attention.

Billy was looking a bit frail so theres still a chance for me.

surely one of the most divine performers of all time ...she was Whitney Houston before there was a Whitney Houston ...this one from just a few years ago will get you going, ng, so make sure you're properly seated in case you fall over!
