Knew it was coming but seems a bit early in the season. Any comments on what he's doing now? assisting Gordon?Originally posted by PresentingPercy View PostComment

One of the best. And a classy way out I guess.
But still thought he could've waited until the festivals
Happy retirement though hopefully!Comment

One of the best around. Landed me a Cheltenham treble and memories I'll never forget. He'll have a huge future off the course for sure.Originally posted by PresentingPercy View PostComment

Brilliant jockey. And the room came alive when he turned up for the Cheltenham football ground preview night this year so something in the media could beckon.Comment

100%. He's likeable, charismatic and knowledgeable. He'll get decent offers that are well deserved. Wouldn't even be surprised if he has something lined up.Originally posted by Imperial Commander View PostComment

Davy Russell - how we'll miss him.
Any race where Davy had a ride was worth watching just for the privilege of seeing an absolute maestro at work.
He was nearly always in the right place and made it all look ridiculously easy.
And if Davy was on board your horse at the Cheltenham Festival you wouldn't swop him for anyone.
Great he's got out in one piece and can enjoy more time with his young family.
Davy is truly a legend of the sport.Comment

this is what it's come to now, sleeping in shipping containers. Find it highly amusing that it's labelled a cheap alternative at a grand haha.Long bitcoin, long gold, long silver, long g/s opening day Cheltenham FestivalComment

I love the festival, but the cost to attend the event is just way too much
On top of that, the effort required... na, been there, done that, got the losing betting slips. Rather stay at home, great view, access to the fridge and toilets, and more importantly, in a better position to pick out winnersComment
