I've seen a doco or two on this carriage driving stuff Sir Barn, at it's best, it's bloody scary stuff. I don't think I'd trust Phil at the helm of an F1 version of the beast.
Twenty years ago Fil was the business in this sport. I'd forgotten BROOKS, after him everyone seems just apples.
Bustino, do you remember Capt. Ryan Price? God, he could be a bully occasionally. Saw him berate a very young apprentice jockey after a race at a minor meeting down south somewhere, reducing the lad to tears. Was not the kid's fault in any way; his horse was just not good enough (Timeform indicated as much beforehand). To my delight, the crowd by the unsaddling enclosure went for Price and just about everyone gave him a piece of their mind. He was a nasty piece of work sometimes.
Yes he was a strange one. He also had a touch of the AOBs except his statements of the best horse he'd ever trained were always littered with plenty of expletives.
