Gavin Lerena, the true professional. "He rode a supreme race today," says David Safi, the founder of Formgrids.
We are so emotional now. We are so proud of Gavin," said the very emotional Tex and Avril Lerena.
"Often jockeys say, after a winning ride, is that they found themselves in the right place at the right time," commented Safi, "What I liked about Gavin is that he put himself in the right place at the right time. He never waited for things to happen. He made things happen. And that is the difference between a good jockey and a great jockey," ended off Safi.
"What is really impressive about Gavin's big race win is that he managed get down from 57Kg to 52.5Kg in under a month," says George Croucher, Gavin's coastal agent, "In so doing he lost 8% of his total body mass."
