Harwood hails ‘trainer’s dream’ Starkey

GUY HARWOOD yesterday paid a warm tribute to his former stable jockey Greville Starkey, who died on Wednesday at the age of 70 after an eight-year battle with cancer.

The now-retired Pulborough trainer formed a formidable partnership with Starkey in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

They won a host of big races both at home and abroad with legends of the turf that included the great Dancing Brave, Ela-Mana-Mou, Kalaglow, Lear Fan, Rousillon, Recitation and Sadeem.
