Dear George,
I was an infrequent racegoer in my youth and always cautious with my bet.
Like most track novices I had a theory about winners - ears pricked forward and stepping out calmly in the saddling paddock.
I would have been wrong more times than I was right with that yardstick.
However, most of my bets were on any horse which had Tommy Smith as trainer and George Moore as jockey.
Always for a win or a place, you never failed me and I went home with extra coins jiggling in my pocket.
I'm sorry you're gone, George. You'll always remain a fond memory.
Good on ya mate,
Pete
