Today
The win was also the fifth Group I success this season for Schofield, who's had his trials and tribulations this year over his involvement in sales of horses to Hong Kong. Only Hugh Bowman has ridden more Group I winners this season.

"It's great for James. He's been about the only one that's supported me through the difficult times of late so I'm very happy for him."

Please set some spaces between your long unbroken sentence - that is what is buffering up this thread.

Sorry - whether it belongs in another thread or not - the message relates to Glyn Schofield - a good personal friend of mine.

What is that story about the horse sales to Hong Kong involving Schofield?

I know some of the details not all...here goes.A well known ex racing commentator and now horse owner as well as some sort of wheeler dealer who had a share in a horse alongside of some others, sold it to a Hong Kong buyer. The agreed price was supposed to be a modest $A160,000 but the wheeler dealer unbeknown to the other owners realized a price of $A200,000. Besides pocketing his share he then split the extra $40,0000 between himself Glyn and someone else. Glyn and the other person each got $10,000. That's all I know besides the fact that Glyn copped a suspension......there must be more to the story but that's as much as I know. As you can see from the text, Glyn has been ignored by the racing fraternity, he used to ride for the leading trainer but that has gone cold.
