Best wishes to both of them, they've had a rough few months.

Difficult situation to be in even if they were years older and wiser. They're a lovely couple and I really hope their future together is a happy one. I just hope the lad manages to come to terms with whats happened to him and is happy working within racing but not race riding. They're both very lucky to have each other.

Hopes to ride at Punchestown and keep on until the June Auteuil meeting, then have an operation in the summer.

Am I being unfair or has Joseph O 'Brien been rather below par this season ?
