Another ageless jockey

NZ-born jockey Grant Cooksley is back home following a recent stint in oz
The 55-year-old has been riding since age 15

Cooksley has pondered hanging up his riding boots on more than one occasion through despair and frustration
Several years back he returned to NZ,,got disillusioned & considered retirement

An offer to ride in Singapore changed his fortunes but when he returned to NZ after five years a bad fall nearly forced his hand to end his career
He broke his arm and suffered bleeding on the brain
He spent one and half years out of the saddle

Already a couple of winners since his return
