What a breath of fresh air in such politically bloody correct times!

Proud Simpson to bring "Black Magic" to Brisbane

Ronald Simpson is looking to bring the "Black Magic" to Brisbane, with the apprentice hoop set to make the move north following a Sunshine Coast double on Sunday.

The Brewarrina product is proud of his Indigenous heritage and has enjoyed a week-long stint with champion trainer Tony Gollan in what was a fact finding mission.

Simpson lives in Dubbo and works for local trainer Clint Lundholm, but the 23-year-old's country claim is on the verge of running out.

The jockey has grown a cult following in the area thanks to his nickname and says he loves what it means to him.

"They call me Ronnie or Ron, but I have a nickname of Black Magic and I love it," Simpson said.

"I'm Aboriginal and it suits me, so I changed all my social media to Black Magic, it has been good.

"I go to the races and everyone knows me by Black Magic, some people might think it's a racist thing but I am happy they call me it because it makes me proud.

"It gives me more motivation when I hear it, I think about my people back home and want to do them proud as well."

Simpson will fly back to Dubbo on Monday with stars in his eyes after working for Gollan and says he is keen to return to Brisbane.

The young hoop had three rides for the champion trainer and booted home two winners at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday, putting the icing on top of his week.

"I am going close to outriding my claim in the country, so the boss has decided to let me go somewhere for three months on loan because it will be better for me in the long run to show my ability with some of the bigger trainers," Simpson added.

"He organised with Tony Gollan, who was happy to take me on for a week, so I came up to check it out and get some insight as to how it runs up here.

"I will fly home (on Monday), but once everything is organised I think I will move back here (to Brisbane) around the end of the month.

"I can't thank Tony enough for giving me the opportunity, it has been a real eye opener, but he has gone out of his way to give me some opportunities, I got three rides (on Sunday) and two went really well.

"It has opened some doors for me and put my name out there a bit in Brisbane, I really can't thank him enough."

Seems from the little I have seen that ''send Simmons back to America'' Alan Jones et al(usual suspects) seems to be source of the negativity.

urchins, what an archaic, emotive word LOL

that's life, most people don't get what they want, why would the "urchins" expect contact with Simmons ?

I noticed Media watch's diversion last night too. And now yours.Wink

The only question is how many of the urchins Ben left heartbroken. The Murdoch says 1000 or some ginormous number: Media Watch's "spy" says 15.

The reporter who wrote the story was not even at the event.
Parents and kids who attended were thrilled,Simmons devoted so much attention to them all day, couldn't have done more. So easy to knock a success just because he is.
He was wrong with the Crown tweet though


You mean the $200 mob got their moneys worth?

Not being Italian and not being from a famous high profile New York political family we may not see it in the same context he does. That guy certainly caught him on the wrong day though.

I think the guy was being a jerk to @chriscuomo, and I certainly understand Cuomo getting pissed, but there's just no way calling someone Fredo Corleone is like the n-word. There just isn't. That's plain nuts.
