He had joined the highly successful stable of Tony Dickinson by the time of his first winner, Top Tune, in the Knottingley Novices’ Hurdle (Division 2, Part 1) at Doncaster on January 28, 1977. The five-year-old quickened from the last flight to beat Brave Kid by half a length. Top Tune was usually ridden by the trainer’s on, Michael, and had already won a race at Sedgefield the previous month.

Graham went on to record his second win when Angel Clare was a comfortable winner of the Grove Novices’ Hurdle (Division 1) at Sedgefield on March 15, 1977, the margin of victory being five lengths. They followed up next time out at Kelso on March 30, with a two-length success in the Helton Novices’ Hurdle (Division 2).

Sadly, their next start together did not go well, for Angel Clare attempted to run out and crashed through the wing of the last flight when well beaten at Southwell on April 7. It is not known whether that incident was responsible for ending Graham’s career in the saddle but it proved to be his final ride.
