Tribute to Jo Giles - March 2011 Nees Racing wish to show their respect for dear friend and racing.org.nz member Jo Giles who we are currently fearing for since the February earthquake in Christchurch. To Jo's children Anna, Samantha, Olivia, James and to partner Dave we feel for you all during this tough time. Rest assured we are thinking of you all yet words alone just never seem to be enough hence the following video to show how we remember Jo ...

Hey , alittle off topic but who was Jo Giles ? Was at welly last night and my self and others were wondering who this person was and what they did....Thanks.. I suppose quite a few people outside of Christchurch would probably not know Jo, or if they did, mainly as the host of Thunder at the Glen on Cue TV. As an Aucklander a few years back i had only heard of Jo as a fellow Macgorian, and she always had alot of funny posts to say, often while letting us know when her show would be on Cue TV on Sky, and i knew she raced. That was until i moved to Christchurch.. I had never seen regional TV be very successful, but down here CTV is quite popular and many of the hosts are legit local celebrities. In fact my partner was a fan of "Shopping with Jo" (which did what it said!), and had very little interest in Speedway, but Jo racing helped me drag her along that first time, so she could see Jo race. Since the earthquake i have seen a few profiles of her, and its almost a case of what didnt Jo do? NZ's first female jockey, New Zealand shooting rep at Oceania or Commonwealth games?, Rock n Roll Dancer, ran for Mayor, and pilot of so many different race vehicles. Mostly though, in this case, she was a great Speedway ambassador and competitor, fellow macgorian, Daves Partner, and Murrays friend. RIP Jo
