Ex-jockey hoping for 'like father, like son' feat between two 'last' S'pore Gold Cups
Simon Price did not need too much arm-twisting to book his air ticket to Singapore - and more pointedly, his ticket to its last race meeting ever on Oct 5.
The former jockey, 54, is in town to support his son Will, who will be aboard one of the 16 horses in the $1.38 million Group 1 Grand Singapore Gold Cup (2,000m), Makin.
But there is also another gilt-edged reason why he decided it was time to revisit what was his old stomping ground until 2004.
It is a bold bid at carving a slice of history in Singapore racing for a Price family heirloom that their grandchildren will pass down to the next generations to come.
