Great to catch up with Lindsay Murphy on the eve of his retirement after 42 years in the Sydney racing industry.

In Part 1 Lindsay talks about his early days in the STC office and his transition to track maintenance under the tutelage of John Jeffs and Lindsay Davies.
He remembers the trainers and one respected jockey from the days when Canterbury was a busy little training centre.
