Brandon Clark - UK
My name is Brandon Clark, im from the UK. I'm emailing you because I was recommended you by white robe Lodge in dunedin. I was supposed to come over in March 9 months ago to be a steeplechase jockey for the Andertons, however due to Covid-19 that wasn't possible. I was advised to contact you as you could possibly find me a trainer who needs a jockey in the North Island, as South Island steeplechase seems to be under question, My visa had also expired so I would be required to get a new one if at all possible.
