I wasn't having a go at you. Inadvertent errors are easily made on Internet Forums, but I just felt that if we are discussing Arthur, it is only right to spell his name correctly.

E I Addio Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I’ve really enjoyed this thread. I did know a little about Arthur Forrest but I had no idea he was so good at such a young age, or that he retired so young. Anyone know why he retired ? Even though he appears to have already peaked when he retired I imagine he could have been a top dog and earned a decent living in the early years off the Provincial league.

BOBBATH Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 That's a good point El Addio- certainly riders his age were in the Prov. League and did well, some even older-a good example being Jim Squibb who was born in 1921 (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a while since I've seen the DVD but I enjoyed the interviews with Eric Boocock who has a very dry sense of humour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
