I see where Esperance based jockey MICHELLE HAGLEY is riding in Darwin on Saturday.
Hope she gets a return for the effort. Some Perth jockeys won't even drive to York.

    The best 'have travel will saddle' over recent years has to be Kevin Forrester. The only state he hasn't ridden in is in the USA

    must be at pensionable age but still pops up from time to time.

    Kevin would be late 50s only I would imagine, he has certainly travelled though, my guess is if he had walked the miles he has driven or flown he would have worn out Imelda Marcos' shoe cabinet

    His new motto is 'have dog, will travel'.

    I noted that a Kevin Forrester had runners in the first and last at Albion dogs last night. Has to be the jock?

    who was he apprenticed to? i was in sydney 78/79 but i know he was riding here in the early 80's. around the same time as wayne hokai was riding here. what a good rider he was. he had a fall in victoria some years ago that finished his career.

    I got a feeling your time line may be out a bit Falc ? I'd say it was the 90's when Kevin was riding here, but I am happy to be corrected if I'm wrong
