This very question was raised again in the press recently and I would encourage everyone to express their views on this pertinent matter.
As you can see I asked a similar question some time ago and I have definitely developed an even healthier respect for the riding feats of Darren Beadman. Not since "old cottonfingers" dominated Sydney racing all those years ago have we been privileged to witness a rider of Darren's undoubted ability and domination of the ultra-competitive Sydney racing scene.
Looking forward to hearing from interested punters.

Cheers.
