[Piethagoram]

 

[liampie]

what ever happened to the young lad that our academy released due to being to small, who then went on the be a jockey?

this is a great thing, i am not familar with hayley turner but seeing her wear the notts training gear is really great to see. its like notts is a bit more trendy to support these days. we should always be proud.

I’ve not come across her before, but it’s pleasant to learn that Notts has another supporter who is fairly well-known. She must be, given her television appearances. I wish her the best of luck.

I wasn’t aware of her previously, but now that I know she’s a Notts County supporter, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for her. It’s wonderful to see her representing the club, as it might attract her fans.

[Fan of Big Tone]

I’m not really into horse racing but anything that promotes Notts County is fine by me, good for her wearing Notts stuff.

[NCRichie]

It’s always positive to see the club being represented. I’m not familiar with who she is, but it’s beneficial nonetheless.

[OoooooTommy]

It's great to see another Notts fan doing well and getting on TV. Our colours should be worn with pride.

[KingMaynard]

I’m not familiar with horse racing, but this is certainly interesting. It’s not often you spot a Notts fan on tv.

[Chris]

I couldn't name a single jockey these days, but there's one thing for sure! We won't forget Hayley Turner from this point on.  

[Joshua]

It’s good to see a female jockey, it certainly provides a change from the petite men we usually see during the Grand National.

[Jake]

Glad to see the Notts badge in full colour, and more so the respect for representing her roots. 

[themightymagpies]

It’s always a joy to see Notts showcased on the big screen. The club should feel just as proud as us fans to witness it.

[JustLikeJuve]

This is something I wasn’t privy to, it’s lovely to see Hayley Turner representing Notts.

[upthepies]

It’s always pleasant to discover something new. Hayley Turner is making Notts proud.

I haven't watched much horse racing since the days of Peter O'Sullivan, Brough Scott and Co,

I still watch the Derby and Grand National  every year when I can.

It is great that a leading sporting personality like Haley is supporting Notts.

I don't think people pay a lot of attention to things these days, once most would have known about who was who. Yes, some might be unknown but more likely Hayley Turner would have been known in our circle with her being a Notts fan.

Those days of knowing a lot about the people in film and TV credits are long gone.

Which is extending to presenters, sometimes when I watch something, and it changes, such as Pointless with the quiz assistant - I'm like... Who's that?!!? Oh I preferred so and so.

@Chris

I used to watch quite a few Jockeys like Lester Piggot, Willie Carson, & Pat Eddery, ply their trade on the best horses

Never used to bet on the horses much, only the Derby with an each way bet.

Stopped watching the sport about 30 years ago.

It's the only sport that I really lost interest in.

[DeadlyMacca]

I’m not familiar with her, apart from what’s been mentioned, but it’s pleasant to know that Notts has a supporter who is a jockey and appears to be well-recognised in that sport.

[Chris]

@Robbie it used to be a yearly habit of watching the Grand National, we used to have a friendly bet within the family and on occastions a bet would be placed, but I have to admit, I lost interest. It's the same with the University Boat Race. Habits change; information isn't stored the same. Technology has a lot to do with it IMO.

[StanfordPie]

I’ll keep an eye out for the name Hayley Turner, it’s grand to see a Notts fan getting some recognition.

Any Notts supporter donning our training kit or shirts, deserves a pat on the back when appearing on national telly.

I see what you mean Chris.

I can remember those iconic thoroughbred horses, from the 70s like Mill Reef,  Brigadier Gerrard, and Nijinsky, I still remember that the Brigadier won 17 out of 18 major races and his only defeat came from another great, Roberto.

I can't name a modern horse at all now.

@Piethagoram thanks for sharing that.
