Bill Turner

 

Some years ago, Bill Turner trained one of Vague Shot's sons and I seem to remember he won a few races with the horse.

But that pales into insignificance when compared to his latest training feat that has just been recorded in the Racing Post.

He's broken and ridden a zebra!

Good to see that he rides it without a hard hat! He's also 61! So he's still got a lot of life yet!

Interesting that as I write, that this story has only appeared so far in the Racing Post. I would have thought it was the sort of tale, that most newspapers would find worth printing.
