#BettingPeople Interview ROY HARKNETT Veteran Stable Lad Part 2/3
Roy Harknett left his Enfield home aged just 14 to work in Derby and Grand National winning trainer Willie Stephenson’s yard. In this three part #BettingPeople interview Roy talks about his youth working in yards, then returning as an adult in his 50’s to ride out again and drive horseboxes all over Europe.
In Part 2, Roy continues his story with tales of less that salubrious conditions for travelling lads, making the newspaper for all the wrong reasons, losing his horse so jacking in his job, boxing in Newmarket and making life-long friends in the racing game.
