Graham Bradley won an impressive haul of top-class races in his riding days, from Hennessy's at Newbury to Champion Hurdles and Gold Cups at Cheltenham.
Bradley had effortless style and finesse in the saddle, but out of it controversy found him on more than one occasion.
Now, two decades on from retiring, and having been warned off from a sport he so loves, Mike Cattermole reflects on his riding career with him and find out what the future might hold on the road to redemption.

Wow - Cattermole at his sycophantic best. Let's all feel sorry for the warned off jockey.

@smellymelly5246 4 жыл бұрын

I remember Barney Curley was the first one to state that Bradley was stopping horses , and no one would believe him . Barney used to source a lot of horses for the Dickinsons back in the day , and was convinced that Bradley , their jockey , was bent . If you can get your hands on Barney's autobiography - Barney Curley , Giving a little back ( 1998 ) , it is a fascinating read .

@georgemurray542 Жыл бұрын

Barney may he rest in peace had no place to talk about anyone.....There's more than one way to stop a horse.....Barney would arrange to run a horse 6 canters short of a gallop and finish out the back of the telly then a few months later he'd gamble the backside of it and it would hack up.

The Horse that raised Curley's concerns was called Robin Goodfellow trained by Toby Balding if i remember correctly and the race was the Kennal Gate novices hurdle at Ascot a race won by Teletrader trained by Ron Hodges , Robin was held up and never really put into it by Brad one week later they met again at Sandown and surprise surprise Robin Goodfellow trounced Teletrader! :P

Everybody deserves a 2nd chance in Life. Brad has not Harmed anyone. Really hope he is allowed to get a licence to be a trainer. He has everything to be a great success at this. Supreme stylist in the saddle right up there with Lester Piggott and John Francome. Brought so much enjoyment to Racing Fans watching his skill as a horseman.

ATR love a good cheat. I remember well Luke and Jason taking the piss out of the public regarding Luke's horse "going for a spin out the back" in a certain race. Absolute filth. For as long as racing jornalists and pundits see themselves as participants in the sport rather than being there to objectively comment, racing will never move on. Sycophnatic, vomit-inducing tripe

A Brad says every jockey had punters back then and you can take that to the bank. I could tell you one jockey who stopped a horse at Cheltenham for a well known bookie then called the owner and apologised for giving the horse a bad ride and asked if he could ride it at Aintree to make it up to them. They agreed and he stopped it again. If I told you who you would be shocked.

Fascinating interview. I marvelled at his brilliant style and horsemanship back in the day, beautiful to watch. It has to be said he had his head turned too easily and willingly engaged with some seriously bad people. Seems like a nice guy and expresses remorse but it's hard to believe he will ever restore his reputation and secure a meaningful role in racing even after all these years.
