Henry Skinner renews licence for 2001 season

Hi, I was in your website this morning and was reading about Henry Skinner - found this interesting article and thought I would share it with you.
Henry decided to keep his option open as thought he might have driven in a few trotting races.
Skinner aged 68, admitted it was a young man's game but the fire still burnt for him.  He confirmed his best opponents were Ken Balloch, Peter Wolfenden and Tony Herlighy.  He was awared the Harness Racing Personality of the year in 1989-90 season.
With 709 winners under his belt had says his best win was with Sapling in Auckland Cup 1979, but Honkin Vision had the most brillance of any standardbred he drove.
