Graham Bradley | Legend of Horse Racing

[@smellymelly5246]

I remember Barney Curley was the first one to state that Bradley was stopping horses , and no one would believe him . Barney used to source a lot of horses for the Dickinsons back in the day , and was convinced that Bradley , their jockey , was bent . If you can get your hands on Barney's autobiography - Barney Curley , Giving a little back ( 1998 ) , it is a fascinating read .

[@georgemurray542]

Barney may he rest in peace had no place to talk about anyone.....There's more than one way to stop a horse.....Barney would arrange to run a horse 6 canters short of a gallop and finish out the back of the telly then a few months later he'd gamble the backside of it and it would hack up.

[@blairarcher8952]

Haha Barney Curley .He was known for his tricks and big gambles .

[@mozzchops]

Wow - Cattermole at his sycophantic best. Let's all feel sorry for the warned off jockey.

[@mervyncharter]

Everybody deserves a 2nd chance in Life. Brad has not Harmed anyone. Really hope he is allowed to get a licence to be a trainer. He has everything to be a great success at this. Supreme stylist in the saddle right up there with Lester Piggott and John Francome. Brought so much enjoyment to Racing Fans watching his skill as a horseman.

[@pauloliver1842]

HE robbed us the punters obviously you didn't lose on him

[@stephenholmes1036]

Graham riding Wayward lad against Dawn run they both gave everything that day. W.A Stephenson a great stockman, farmer and trainer

[@privateoffice8203]

Racing community tie a hundred yellow ribbons round the ol lollypop stick for Bradders - he's done his time

[@stephenholmes1036]

Is their any chance you coukd interview the great Ron Barry? He's been forgotten for some reason?

[@terencetrentwatford.632]

When I hear his name or see his face , all I see is BENT JOCKEY .

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

The Horse that raised Curley's concerns was called Robin Goodfellow trained by Toby Balding if i remember correctly and the race was the Kennal Gate novices hurdle at Ascot a race won by Teletrader trained by Ron Hodges , Robin was held up and never really put into it by Brad one week later they met again at Sandown and surprise surprise Robin Goodfellow trounced Teletrader! :P

[@jonchisam7163]

Great Jockey, best ride Morley Street Aintree Hurdle and Merry Gale at Aintree, just brilliant

[@1DuckyTSB]

What a lovely man I wish all the best seems a great man

[@theartfuldodger6500]

Very gifted rider who was as crooked as anyone I have seen in the last 25 to 30 years.

[@kepnjem]

Aww. Graham! Allus wondered what happened to you! Great to see you. Like a true Yorkshireman, told it as it is. We can only learn by our mistakes. I also say this to viewers of this video who have never made a mistake in their life. Best o' luck mate. 👍

[@trevorluft8161]

Tens years of been bent is not a mistake it's a career IMHO.

[@oldmanarockin]

@@trevorluft8161 Did you not listen or watch the video all the way through. He said he made a massive mistake but was only doing what many other jockeys were doing at the time and he thought it was the norm... I can guarantee you this.. that it is still going on today under both codes... As for the jockey club. They are a law unto them selves. They have made just as many mistakes as Bradley, and turn a blind eye when it suites, but they don't have to answer to anyone....pompous snobs everyone of them...

He got caught simple as that, Brian Wright was his downfall.

[@mabbrey]

the sound cuts out after ten mins ! fix it please at the races

[@kingkompany5908]

ATR love a good cheat. I remember well Luke and Jason taking the piss out of the public regarding Luke's horse "going for a spin out the back" in a certain race. Absolute filth. For as long as racing jornalists and pundits see themselves as participants in the sport rather than being there to objectively comment, racing will never move on. Sycophnatic, vomit-inducing tripe

[@charliemctruth]

Well put.

[@darrenmatthews1581]

He got a 3 months ban for riding my father horse deadly going many years ago

[@iancarpenter6298]

if this guy becomes a trainer...and his horse was ten lengths clear comming into the final furlong ...how confident would you be it would win?...

[@MrExsasperated]

If any of you don't think that racing is still bent today take note of the percentage of short priced favourites that are beaten!!

[@Gamekeeper77]

Fascinating interview. I marvelled at his brilliant style and horsemanship back in the day, beautiful to watch. It has to be said he had his head turned too easily and willingly engaged with some seriously bad people. Seems like a nice guy and expresses remorse but it's hard to believe he will ever restore his reputation and secure a meaningful role in racing even after all these years.

[@starbucktraining]

Bradley was the best Jockey I ever saw .So stylish .

[@starbucktraining]

@@manirali6552 I think its bastard .

[@georgemurray542]

A Brad says every jockey had punters back then and you can take that to the bank. I could tell you one jockey who stopped a horse at Cheltenham for a well known bookie then called the owner and apologised for giving the horse a bad ride and asked if he could ride it at Aintree to make it up to them. They agreed and he stopped it again. If I told you who you would be shocked.

[@Househead1200]

Large Action?

[@ianh6930]

tbh he got the book thrown at him by the powers that be because he made it public knowledge about his scams... they were all at it not just him.. just he made the mistake of admitting it.. Most at it today probably.. deffo certain trainers given free bettiing accounts for a small favour in return but kept in house

[@TheJepster2010]

Graham Bradley deserves a second chance in racing. He was crucified for no more than what most jockeys were guilty of until the last ten years - that is having punters who they gave information and tips too. Brad was a scapegoat. And he has paid more than enough.

[@davidharvey5458]

It was a different time. No bet fair, no exchanging, just as we all knew in the North, u went to a meet, usually me were sedgi, Hexham, Newcastle, took ur £200,and didn't pull a face if u didn't go home with a monkey. 👍👍👍👍

What's that mean he does his time I dont think so these basterds use to dope horse ask all them punters who lost there money on these little midget basterds they should be banned and not go near horses .give them a chance you make laugh dude

Legend my arse only legend he will ever be is a cheating legend that's what he's going to be remembered by

[@nightowl7459]

@@manirali6552 Absolutely, it's all glossed over on this interview, he might well be a decent person at heart but he's also committed a crime against his profession that should never be forgotten, I bet these people wouldn't be so ready to forgive if it was one of their horses that got doped or pulled in a race it should have been winning.

[@michaelkinahan1829]

He shows no remorse for what he did and won't own up to it. How can he expect redemption, if he won't be honest about his crimes?

[@James-b7p2k]

Cost my dad 8k pulled a 4/6 shot was daylight robbery my old man said you could actually see he wasn’t trying….same as pat eddery he pulled a few up at the time

[@DFUK83]

Dodgy jockey?, I think I was at sandown he was riding hypnosis maybe for Elsworth. 20 lengths clear and still managed to lose. Not bad And seen other rides like this. Like Fallon on the flat before he lucked out with sir Henry

[@davidmachen158]

he was a pussey cat compared to dermot browne who to this day is warned off for doping horses

[@drybrookwarbler7445]

Graham was always forthright and laboured under the misunderstanding that his talent would conquer all Popular and always good fun He just got caught up with it all Confident to the point of arrogant he thought he could take the Establishment on and win .That was never going to happen as John Francome knows He wouldn't listen Huge mistake which he must have bitterly regretted ever since

Absolutely rancid. Probably the most bent jockey who ever lived. Used to watch him ride in the bookies. Never used to move on a horse while the winner was having ears shoved off and would get beat half a length. He never even tried to hide it. Crook.

How can you say that?!! Can't you see it was all done in innocense? My next door but one neighbour's brother was a close friend of Henry Cecil. I got tips straight from the horse's mouth, for want of a better word. Sometimes he was right, sometimes he was wrong. It's not corrupt. It's a case of judging your horse against the other runners and riders.
