Kiwi
Television (Excerpts) – 2018
School's finishing and it's time you started making some choices ... You're a talented rugby player and you sure know how to ride a horse. It's time to make a decision.– Jimmy Cassidy's school principal (Peter Daubé) lays out his career options
[Kiwi has] always been my favourite. I get that question asked a lot, 'who's your favourite?' I was lucky enough to ride 104 of them — and the first one is always Kiwi.– The real Jimmy Cassidy talks about his horse racing memories, Stuff, 8 July 2018
I didn't have a penny on him. I never bet much, but I had bet nothing on him.– Kiwi's co-owner and trainer Ewen "Snow" Lupton, in disbelief after Kiwi won the 1983 Melbourne Cup, Stuff, 11 November 2017
