would also help tudhope's career if he went with him, riding the better horses in a top yard, could play second fiddle to queally for a couple of years and take over if queally moves on or put himself in the window for a retainer somewhere else. the likes of hughes and fallon won't be around forever so big jobs will be coming up over the next few years and riding at a northern yard that gets good winners but doesnt exactly have the seven day a week exposure that hanagan got at faheys yard - he would get far more exposure even riding second fiddle at somewhere like warren place, especially as he would have far more saturday horses.



even though there is no frankel cecil still has some good horses - chigun, vita nova, noble mission, tickled pink just to name three, and then there is the exciting joyeuse.



i know mongan is still at the yard, but as second jockey he couldnt have too many complaints if he was moved on, and im sure he would be snapped up somewhere else as he has won a fair few black type races in his time there.

AP McCoy has just announced on C4 that he will retire at the end of the current season.

not seen this thread live for a while!



yes Mccoy retiring at the end of the season, what a legend he has been.



no luck today on the horses for me



not doing too bad with the RL though so far got widnes and saints on the handicap just need wire now for a trixie

Sire De Grugy let me down for a Lucky 15 yesterday after Arbre De Vie, Vibrato Valtat & Glens Melody had all comfortably done the business.



In truth the writing looked on the wall before the fall.

i had vibrato and glens melody too, both won pretty easily



sire de grugy wasnt jumping well at all, going to be hard to pick the winner of the champion chase this time with sprinter sacre also not brilliant on his comeback but they should both improve
