My apologies...for failing to include a certain L."Mick" Dittman in the list of champion riders who have dominated Sydney racing over the last few decades.
I can assure everyone that punters were very confident that "The Enforcer" would give his mount(and their wagers) every possible chance of winning!
Yet, today, his robust riding style would not be tolerated in this "politically correct" society in which we live.
Aaah, those were the days when "Mick" would ride two or more winners virtually every raceday!
That is why the current crop of riders are under so much scrutiny!

Cheers.
