    Pity that. He was a decent jockey and a sound helpful guy to friends of mine.
    Hope he finds his niche.

    So sorry to hear that. A hugely talented horseman and a real gentleman. Somehow never reaped the rewards that his talents deserved. Best wishes to him whichever direction he now chooses to follow.

    Timmy Murphy found guilty of improper riding in that he intentionally interfered with Gavin Sheehan in the 4.50 at Southwell yesterday and suspended for 3 days March 18th - 20th inclusive.
