These old “rippers” were snapped almost fifty years ago at La Perouse, where dozens of Randwick trained horses were taken for a swim, in an endeavour to give them a break from the tedium of stable life.
I was delighted to meet Nicole Ward at Ascot (WA) on Railway Stakes day. Nicole is the granddaughter of former champion jockey Arthur Ward, who died five years ago at the remarkable age of 94.
