Maybe there's more behind that comment which would be the cause of her not riding for him? I met someone on a course who was friends with someone who worked for him and she wasn't flattering about him at all.

 

[Ardross]

It is odd - she cannot seem to get a ride - though she does ride one for Clive Cox in the Bath listed race tomorrow .

The old boys network would seem to be at work here.

Does anyone know if Rachel Blackmore was banned or fined for her ride on minds eye??

Colm O' Donoghue 222 days since last win according to Irish Racing- 2 rides in last 21 days.

Pat Smullen has announced his retirement. While he is managing to keep the cancer at bay, the medical advice is that attempting a comeback as a jockey would be an unacceptable risk to his immune system.

He was a very fine jockey, always reliable and very good in a finish, one of very few Irish based flat jockeys to achieve international status.

Wishing him all the best for the future.

Brilliant interview with him on Newstalk last week

Very eloquently summed up by Grey-sad to see him retire but beating cancer has to be the main objective.

One of four champions to ride Airlie Beach. Brilliant around Galway.

Everyone in racing will hope that he keeps the beast at bay.

Believe he is based in Newmarket now, rides a lot of work for Stoute

Gavin Cromwell has grown to the extent that he has his own stable jockey

Jonathan Moore gets the job

Hoping David Mullins is ok. Air ambulance for him at Thurles

Early indication that he is moving and all limbs in tact

Fingers crossed there will be better news concerning David Mullins.

Meanwhile Mikey Fogarty has come out of retirement and had a winner today.

An update on David Mullins:

The chief medical officer of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Dr. Jennifer Pugh has issued a statement on Twitter this morning in regard to jockey David Mullins who was air-lifted from Thurles racecourse to Cork University Hospital yesterday after a heavy fall in the second race."David Mullins has fractured his clavicle & thoracic vertebrae(T12) & will undergo surgery. David is very grateful for all the well-wishes & also to @ICRROfficial @OrderofMaltaIRL & Medical Staff."

Heskin is on fire at the moment. Another top ride there.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Wayne Hutchinson has announced his retirement with immediate effect

 

[Perpetual]

Was wondering where he'd been for the last few weeks. Top jockey and great he's out fit, healthy and on his own terms

 

[Grey]

Wayne Hutchinson is a fine jockey, I hope he has a happy retirement.

Meanwhile the word is that David Mullins has had his operation and it has gone well but it will be a long road back.

 

[Bonjers]

What's going on with Davy and Gigginstown then?

What's going on with Davy and Gigginstown then?

Not fully sure but Keith D has got plenty of action since he started blogging

 

[littlelad]

Interesting that Jacob is on footpad tomorrow. When Ruby was retained rider he got the Munir horses. Not the case for Townend it would appear.
