Question

Can anyone tell me anything about the jump jockey Ken White?

Answer 1

K B White was a national hunt jockey who rode often for the late Fred Rimmel and may have been attached to his stable although not I believe as first jockey. I guess he would have ridden in the seventies and eighties although I cannot give the names of any horses he was particularly associated wtih.

Answer 2

are you sure he was a jockey, i think he might have been a trainer, miss salsa might shed some light on this if you ask her nicely yes ken white was a trainer from shropshire. there is also  a on course bookie with the same name from worcester but thats another story.

Answer 3

he rode horses and was short and didn't weigh much spring to mind

Answer 4

Ken White was 1st jockey to Fred and Mercy Rimmell.His main claim to fame was winning the Champion Hurdle on Comedy of Errors for the Rimmells.Ken was an excellent horseman.Later he became a Trainer for a few years but then turned his hand to his horse transport business which he does to this day.He is a splendid fellow and would rather do anybody a good turn rather than a bad one.I have the pleasure of knowing him well and although i now live in Beijing on the occasions i do go racing in the uk it is a pleasure to have a pint with him.
