An amateur driver by definition is one who accepts no material rewards for his drives.   tmbz1

Then how can a driver who drives in these amateur races drive in overnight races on horses he owns and trains?

Any monies are given to charities of his choice or otherwise distributed. He can drive in races for pay and receive money but it must first be declared.  You can be both an amateur and professional in this sport.

  • dougie: I know very little about him. But since I admire his goals, I admire the man. There'a alot of hate out there. But it's the horses that all should focus on. My friend Trigger tells me i'm naive about things. I am not. But I do believe that what he does overrides the petty nasty personal attacks we see so frequently.
