Kerford's Frustrating Run Finally Ends
- Monday, 12 August 2002 00:00
Kerford had ridden 70 horses in the city since his last winner before the South Eastern raider scored in a driving finish in the Redbank Handicap (2048m).
The talented Adelaide rider was also having a serious case of bad luck off the track when he was assaulted by an unknown man near his home on June 30.
After more than a month out of the saddle Kerford made his city return at the season's first meeting last weekend, but finished without a winner from three rides.
Kerford is as hungry as ever to return to the top of the riding list according to his manager Mal James.
"The Bulldog (as Kerford is commonly known) has not lost his hunger for winners," James said. "He's really looking forward to riding more winners in the near future."
