      Richard you are the Jockey i always liked to see riding winners. This was when I was in high school and knew nothing about horse racing. I still remember listening to radio commentary of your ride on Red Cockade. Later i joined Mysore Race Club and worked till 2005 ending up as Asst Administrator and Chief Accounts Officer. I remember meeting you, Freddied and Ernie Alford during my employment with MRC.. Dont know whether you remember me. How are you and Ernie ? God bless you

    it's really well made video. despite the short format a complete story is told. hats off.
    being someone associated with racing in Calcutta I felt really good seeing this video.
    as someone else stated being a half bred Indo Anglo mix I feel racing is certain in our genetics.

      @@richardalford7251 Hi Richard, yes they are really dumb. I am Christopher N S and I worked as Asst Administrator and Chief Accounts Officer at Mysore Race Club till 2005. Even before i joined Mysore race club and knew nothing much about horse racing, i used to follow you and your performances . I still remember Mid Night Cowboy, Red Cockade, Royal challenge and all. You won Mysore Derby on Mid Night Cowboy for Maharani of Cooch Bihar and if i am correct Sydney Moses trained it. I met you when you came to Mysore and raced your horses as a Trainer. I knew Ernie also well. He used to ride and come to my chamber sit and talk to me. How are you all ? Big man you may not remember me. Hows Ernie ? There was another jockey riding by name Freddie Alford. Well you may not but i remember you
