The Gov, Jeff Lloyd

Never won the July, how wonderful it would be if he could get a ride this year and put this on his list of graded races won. Apparently challenging for the title on the Gold Coast of Australia so riding at the top of his game after the stroke he suffered back in 2013. My best jockey ever!!

Also Chad Schofield, rode last year at the July, wonder if he will be coming around again to try his luck?

Another great SA jock

Speaking of great SA jockeys, Dougie Whyte landed me a 8/1 winner on Sunday followed by a 40/1 e/way in the QE11 cup ridden by Barend Vorster. Seems we lost some really good quality. Back in the day we had a really good crop of experienced jockeys....... Felix Coetzee, Muis Roberts, Robbie Sham, Mark Sutherland, Striker (still as good as ever), Basil Marcus, Tobie van Booma ................then later on, Mark Khan, Waichong Mawing, Delpech, Anton Marcus, Dougie Whyte, Glen Hatt, Andrew Fortune

Now I'm not sure about the quality except for a few reliable jockeys who can really add a length or two to the horse

Apparently Lloyd was a jockey who plied his trade in South Africa. I read somewhere that he was never a South African citizen.

Brilliant jockey though

Was born in Durban, wonder why he was never a citizen then? parents?

Ran third several times.
Remember his third a few years back that saved my p/a

For one to truly know the skills of Dougie Whyte you have to go back to the 90's when Dougie and Striker went toe to toe for the jockey's title.

Apart from AP McCoy i have never seen greater artists at work than these 2 guys. It was awesome, Striker riding pick 6's and Dougie booting hime 4 timers.

Those days don't really exist any more.

I would add Garth Puller and Karl Neisius to this group

he was born in England as I have it

Jeff wrapped up the Brisbane championship today

Amazing considering all he's gone through
