CLICK HERE TO GO BACK YEAR: 1989JACK CROFTS
Retiring from driving on 31 July, 1989, one of the best moments Jack Crofts remembers during his career was winning the last saddle trot at Addington on Gentles. The best horse he bred was Moonfire, four wins.
He says the best horse he ever sat behind was the brilliant Highland Kilt. Crofts worked for the late George Noble for 13 years. He won twice on Highland Kilt, at Rangiora in February 1950 and at Wellington in May 1952.
Usually only training a small team, Croft says he now has more horses than he can handle, a list comprising seven yearlings and two 2-year-olds.
