    So puppy powers retainer with the fast becoming popular Potts does not come into effect if he wants to ride a Jessie horse. She has dibs on him then
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    A jockey I had plenty of time for - I loved his style of riding.

    In the last season or two he went from being a positive to a negative for me. I think he's made the right decision.

    Injured Jockeys Fund update on George Baker

    After a brief spell in a rehabilitation centre, George Baker has now returned home.

    Today (28 April) he went to Oaksey House in Lambourn where he met the neuro physio team who will be supporting him as he moves into the next stage of his recovery. George said “It is so fantastic to be back at home with Nicola and my daughter. I had a great first session with the team at Oaksey House this morning and feel really positive about working with them over the next few months.”

    Ana is conscious and able to move everything but she may have an issue with an arm.

    Word today is that she got smashed up with plenty of bones broken but no surgery is needed. Out for three or four months.

    It's been a long time in the offing but Cathy Gannon has finally announce her retirement from race riding after nearly losing a foot in an injury at Lingfield last year.

    She was champion apprentice in Ireland when attached to the John Oxx stable. Opportunities were limited there, however, because Oxx has always been able to call on the likes of Michael Kinane, Johnny Murtagh, Niall McCullagh, Pat Eddery, Raymond Carroll and many other good riders, so she moved to England. To my surprise she only ever rode one Group winner because she was tough and very capable, but she had a decent career knocking out plenty of winners at the gaff tracks.

    It was interesting to see Malcolm Saunders saying he had given plenty of rides to Josephine Gordon because of the positive experience he had with Cathy Gannon. In such ways do pathfinders benefit those who follow them.

    She had turned the corner in her career for the past few years and was riding well.
    You would have to wonder if ladies just have softer bones than their male counterparts lady jockeys , especially on the flat seem to have a higher incidence of fractures in their life story.
    A pity as they are all well up to the job.
    Fleetingly met Joanna Morgan at Reading station on my way to Cheltenham last year , remarking it was the first time in a long time she was without crutches.
    "Part of my life, I am afraid and a pure pain in the ass " was her reply.
