John Tapp Racing

Despite having posted a podcast with Michael Clarke 15 months ago, we’re still getting inquiries about the whereabouts of the former top jockey. It’s our pleasure to give that podcast another run this week.Michael retired in 2002 , but actually spent the last few years of his career overseas.  He talks of his final years out of Australia. He talks of the emergence of his son Michael Poy as one of Australia’s best apprentices. Michael reflects on the accidental association with Colin Hayes which was destined to change his life.  He pays a heartfelt tribute to the champion Better Loosen Up who took him to dizzy heights in Australia, and gave him one unforgettable experience in Japan.
