Noel Callow - The self-proclaimed King Callow

The self-proclaimed King Callow

Well, unlike three hours earlier, the body language was good and there were smiles all around. And Callow said to the trainer (Lee Freedman), "You can call me King Callow now."

"Masters expect their apprentices to be respectful, to listen and learn, to obey instructions and to stay out of trouble. Callow failed in all these categories.

A few months later, Laing (Eddie Laing) sent him packing and over the next few years, Callow found himself in a variety of different stables. Added to his woes was that, as he matured, his weight began to soar. Stories continued to abound about how he had yet another punch-up with a fellow rider in the jockey's room. He was a hot-head who was never going to make it."

"I will never forget the sight of Noel Callow flogging poor Benicio across the line to win the 2005 Victoria Derby. It was shocking; even the commentator mentioned it. This wasn't a quick flick on the shoulder; Callow brought it down with all his might in a particularly ugly ride. But I do not recall Callow receiving any reprimands, only trophies. Really, he should have been fined and suspended, and his win forfeited. As for the reprimands for jockeys who whip horses who are clearly beaten, or who have clearly won -- they should of course be more strictly and publicly enforced."

The Mindset

"The Mindset of
"I-am-right-therefore-you-are-wrong" Syndrome

It is evident this I-am-right-you-are-wrong syndrome remains in vogue and its pervasive presence will be felt for a long while to come.

Can we not change the mindset a little bit, enough to enable it to say in effect:
‘I am right, but I can see that you might be right as well." AB Sulaiman

The law of reciprocity

The law of reciprocity

The law of reciprocity, which appears in every culture simply defines that when someone gives us something we feel obligated to give something back to them.

It can basically be summed up by stating the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.", "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine." and "You reap what you sow."

"Relationships between people or institutions are based on exchange in which all parties have a mutual understanding of their rights and obligations. Relations between members of an immediate family or between spouses are based on obligations such as obedience or respect. Relations can be forged through gifts or personal favors and bring with them obligations and expectations. For every action, something is expected in return.
Those who do favors are highly esteemed; they are recognized as people who have respect for those around them. Every previous or current situation produces expectations for future behavior on the part of the giver and gift recipient." CoachThee.com

"Reciprocity can be both positive and negative and if you harm others, they may seek revenge or retribution." Amirah
