Jockey Piere is one of the best

Growing up in racing circles I was fortunate to witness the exploits of jockeys such as Harry “heart attack” Berry, Johnny Cawcutt, Stanley Amos, Tiger Wright, Bobby Sievwright, Shorty de la Rey, Cocky Feldman, the inimitable Charlie Barends, and then later the expertise of Gerald “GT” Turner and “Mr Smooth” Muis Roberts.

Piere “Striker” Strydom ranks up there with them.
