salty 2,200 Posted February 25, 2004 James Moore, New Zealander who rode for cradley and Oxfors in the late 70's? What is so special about that I hear you ask? Because his full name was...James Timy Te-Kerehi Herini-Moore. Only tenuously linked but I had a lot of time for the person who named their racehorses Betty Swallocks, Mary Hinge and Cunning Stunt respectively. (trained by Julie Cecil in the early 90's I believe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
