Episode Synopsis "Episode #5: Dandy Kid and the Valley"

In the late 1990s, breeder Bill Watts asked Robbie and Deane Lester to visit Berrigan to meet a foal out of Demus and Miss Tecoma. Budding stablehand and horse enthusiast Rhiannon Schiffer met the young horse at the Cranbourne stables, where he was later named Dandy Kid, and established a life long bond with him. Dandy Kid was a record holder at the Moonee Valley racecourse, and was a relatively antisocial horse who achieved a number of important accomplishments during his time at Griffiths Racing Stables. Hear Robbie Griffiths, Michael Wachter, Rhiannon Schiffer, Ryan Maloney and more reflect on that special time, as well as Dandy’s legacy in Australia’s racing industry.
