Green spent time as a wharfie, a boxer, labourer, electrician and an apprentice jockey before becoming a trainer.
Careeredit
Some of the Australia's most successful jockeys were trained by Green, including Darren Beadman, Ron Quinton[3] and Malcolm Johnston.[4] John Duggan, Maurice Logue and the late David Green (no relation). Green's jockeys would go on to ride thousands of winners between them in Australia and win numerous Sydney Jockey Premierships. “The boss was deaf in one ear so you had to speak up,” Beadman recalled. “And when he talked, his voice had authority. You had to listen. Always present was the dry sense of humour.”[5]
In Green's honour, the eponymous Theo Green Medal is awarded to Sydney's champion apprentice jockey each year.[6] Green trained the horse Inspired, the 1984 Group 1 Golden Slipper winner. Inspired was ridden by champion jockey Darren Beadman who described Green as a 'special person'.[7] Green trained the winners of other Group 1 races, the Blue Diamond, AJC Oaks and Guineas.[8] Green once said "If the jockeys sat still, the horses would run faster".[9]
