Steven PayneThe most famous strapper since Tommy Woodcock, Stevie Payne (everyone calls him Stevie) deserves his place in the top ten for bringing sheer, unbridled joy to the racing game. There is no better sight in racing than seeing Stevie as he walks aDarren Weir-trained horse around the parade ring, smile stretched across his face.
