According to Gary O'Brien on RacingTV a few seconds ago, yes.

Thanks
DOK sits very low in the saddle and sits far more motionless than his contemporaries
Not bad owners for him to be in with
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
And he should serve every minute of it too.

Jerry Mcgrath has lost his battle to return since injury twelve months or so ago.

The BHA has raised the minimum weight for jockeys, following the permanent removal of saunas from weighing room. The minimum Flat weight will now be 8st 2lbs and minimum Jump weight set at 10st 2lbs

Not sure that solves anything to be honest, wasn't the temporary allowance 3lbs as well, where has the other pound gone!
He's retained by the Mulryans and also has a nice link up with DeBromhead and Cromwell. A jockey going places.
I'm presuming Davy Russell is feeling the effects of yesterday's fall but is Jack Kennedy suspended? I see some unusual jockey bookings for Elliott over the weekend.

Still an ouch.
Vote Alfie!!!!
I wouldn't imagine he is too bothered probably relieved if anything, needed a break away from it all.
Sounds like he knows he needs to sort himself out.

His ambition as a youngster was to earn enough money to show jump professionally; I wonder will he fill his time that way ?
More likely to work ride to keep his contacts.
Apparently Charlie Smirke spent five years in the wilderness after a horse refused to race one day in 1928 and Charlie accused of stopping him.
Came back to ride 1934 Derby winner and rode through until 1959, the ultimate big race jockey of his era.

For some reason I thought the Smirke stopped horse was a pony, at something like Gatwick pony races, but maybe that's wrong. When you read his Derby record it's highly impressive.
Bad day for Murphy, who's a great talent. I hope he sorts himself out.
Headache for Balding who uses him when he can. He has a wonderful set of young jockeys but would imagine the more experienced Probert will come in for a lot of rides

In case you were wondering what Oisin is currently up to.....
Actually heard a surprising rumour about him last week....or perhaps I am just behind the times?

Oisin getting high again.
Come on Jin,what's the gossip.?
