    Oh my, that's very sad.

    I'll always remember him for Birds Nest, which might have been before your time?

    Hi Tony ....sad to say it's NOT before my time, but I've followed Horse Racing since I was a toddler (obv.), and I remember watching BIRDS NEST win the Fighting Fifth, as well as running against one of my all-time favourites NIGHT NURSE, and also MONKSFIELD, COMEDY OF ERRORS, and SEA PIGEON etc. in the real GOLDEN AGE of 2mile Champion Hurdlers.

    Funnily enough, just last week the ROAD TO CHELTENHAM' programme on RacingTV, showed all those old Champion Hurdles from the late 70s/early 80's...... well worth a watch if it's on YouTube, if you don't subscribe to RacingTV :)

    Jimmy Lindley RIP

    The older horse racing fans here will remember Jimmy well. Stylish jockey, & the best "paddock commentator" it has been my privilege to listen to.

    Can barely believe he was 86.

    Remember him well.
    Jimmy, rather than Jeremy.
    He was a terrific commentator.

    Maybe you were thinking about a portly poker player from Sheffield, that now lives in Cornwall.
