Martin Locke

Saw a recent pic of Martin locke on FB. Must admit I am not a big fan of him. heard many stories that he was very rude to non white punters on July day when he went around doing interviews.

What happened to old racing 'celebs' like Francious Wolfard, Peter Duffield, and The Ramsays

Don't you just love criticism based on hearsay?

Imo Martin Locke is a legend.

in the early 80's Martin cheekally recvd The Rand Daily Mail tipster of the year award for failing to select Hawkins to run a place in the Gold Vase and Cup.

Get your facts correct before writing a whole pile of u know what here!

Legend..one of the best! Triple Tempo..what kind are you ekse?

Martin has been called in to coach, help and raise the profile of presenters / apprentice jockeys when facing TV cameras and other interviews. He's a pro - like him or not. Give him a break. Everytime racing tries to improve its image it comes with baggage. Eish.

Top Man.. a legend .

According to Raymond Rodgers , Martin Locke was the man that groomed Deez Dayanand!

who can recall at Gosforth park, at a big meeting the tv camera was panning round the crowd in the stands, ( in the parade ring ) when some brave woman SHOWED WHAT A GOOD SET OF BREASTS SHE HAD............... I think Martin's immediate responce was ooha lala magnifique, & carried on with his duties like a true professional.

I recall one of his horses being called " kitchen boy " - that was a looong time ago.

Can you recall the look on Robin Bruss's face who was chatting to the woman, a real classic.
