    I vividly remember his last race, The Champion Stakes at Newmarket, in 1972. The Brigadier won it for the 2nd year running. That final race, the ground was very soft, which The Brigadier hated . He won, but only just . His bravery, class and will to win got him home.

      Correct only an idiot would do a flying dismount risking spooking a valuable horse hopefully one day he will break an ankle that will give him another excuse to take cocaine

    Class act ! On and off a horse stoicism personified loved his interview with Mike Cattermole . Intelligent, honest and as tough as old boots physically and mentally the way he handled the death of his brother who he idolised! Rip Joe

    Brigadier Gérard Mill Reef My Swallow the best 2 000 Guineas ever in my opinion x only defeat to Roberto at York x Joe said he didn t feel right x tragedy to lose Joe x Lester x and Jimmy Lindley x in the space of a few months. X.
