KEVIN BOOTS HOME A DOUBLE

Make hay while the sun shines!! That's what they say and that's exactly what my latest apprentice to be granted his permit to ride is doing at the moment.

Kevin Bohorun, who rode his first winner at Moora last weekend, was able to pick up a couple of extra rides on the weekend just gone at Mt Magnet after my other apprentice Andrew Castle was suspended last week. Kevin went to Mt Magnet with four rides and rode a double and a second place getter. One of his wins was on CHEVIC, a horse which Andrew won on at Moora the previous weekend when he rode a double.

Both boys have been going very well in the short time since gaining their permit to ride and it is great to see the support they have received from trainers far and wide as they seek out opportunities on the country circuit. Kevin has two rides at Ascot tomorrow and four at Geraldton on Thursday. Andrew will be back in the saddle the following week and I know he will be keen to make up for lost ground.
