One of the best and most consistent jockeys over the past two decades has called it a day. He won almost everything there was to win in jumps racing and, for what it's worth, was my favourite NH rider. I'll miss him, although last season he was showing signs of vulnerability at age forty.
I wonder who J P McManus will sign up as his number one rider ?. I first thought Aiden Coleman, but I'll have a small wager on J J O'Neill Jnr., or is he too inexperienced despite his great potential ?

Mark Walsh is already retained by JP so I suspect that he will probably get the gig.
JP's charges are in very good hands with Mark Walsh (seems a certainty to me).
