Witheford the wonder horseman Magic touch which helped Sea The Stars works miracles with troublesome animals
2009
Overview
After a while, however, Eric Wheeler, Mellor's former head lad, asked him to help deal with a horse which was particularly bad at the stalls. At the same time [Gary Witheford]'s friend Cozy Powell, the late drummer with Black Sabbath (and probably not a guiding light for many in racing), insisted that Witheford had a talent which he would be foolish not to exploit. Trainer Eddie Harty introduced him to Ireland and the unlikely word spread round The Curragh of an Englishman who was good with horses. [John Oxx], who was having stalls trouble with a useful colt belonging to the Aga Khan, heard of Witheford's work and so started a relationship that now has Witheford breaking in all the Aga Khan's yearlings. He has them all being ridden within 20 minutes, a process that traditionally took six weeks from start to finish. Last week at York will also linger long in the memory. \"It was like seeing my children do well. Barney McGrew is the most difficult horse I've dealt with. If he was human he'd be on the dole or in the pub. He's always working out ways of avoiding the stalls and what works getting him in one day never works a second time. He's taught me more than any other horse.\"
