Cliff had a long and distinguished career in the saddle spanning 45 years.
He raced at tracks across the state where he accumulated more than 1500 winners.
He came from a large family in the Hunter Valley where he was the youngest of 10 children.
When he turned 16, his mother took him to the Australian Jockey Club in Sydney to arrange for his apprenticeship after he had heard an advertisement on radio.
Cliff continued riding in races up until he was 62 before retiring and being appointed to the Racing Appeal Panel where he served from 2001 to 2022.
