Bradley shrugs off controversy over comeback

GRAHAM Bradley plans to ride out the storm of his controversial return to the saddle in the Fudge And Smudge Leger Legends Classified Stakes at Doncaster this afternoon.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning jockey was one of the best jockeys of his generation but his career was blighted by several run-ins with racing’s hierarchy.

Now a bloodstock agent, Bradley, who is 50 the same day, is back in the fold after serving a five-year ban for selling privileged information.
