His first two picks on Desert Island DiscsRemembering that news story made me smile!
LOL!
I spoke to him at York, well before the first race, so he had a minute. He was funny and friendly, with a twinkle in his eye.My experience of meeting him is the very opposite.
He was stood leaning on the rails of the paddock at Aintree just watching the horses being led around before the first race when I recognised him and said hello.
We chatted for a couple of minutes about the contenders and we both were taken by a grey novice hurdler named Desert Orchid. Wonder what happened to that horse?
He was very very gracious and had no ego at all when I spoke to him.
He had many faults but was a fun lover and deep down had a kind heart.
I, and Racing, will miss the big man.

Obnoxious political views.
And so have Boris and Jezzer, but they can both post on here. I would love to hear what they have to say about the Sheikh's filthy diesel dough!!
