    Liam Treadwell has announced his retirement.

    Always thought he was very tidy and unflashy - just the type of pilot that Venetia has always liked.

    I wish him well for the future.

    Indeed, although any bump of this thread sends chills down the spine at such a delicate time of year. Consideration should be given to a separate ‘out of Cheltenham thread’ for the sake of everyone’s sanity.

    I agree. We met him several times at our racing club, and always followed his rides. A very nice, unassuming sort of guy. I'm so glad that, as a journeyman jockey he won 'the big one'. Really deserved it!

    I know we're approaching the pinnacle of the NH season but 1992 Derby winner Dr Devious has passed away at Stud in Sardinia

    Sounds like a great way to go to me but RIP, he was a smashing horse.

    Had a huge win on him in the Derby as someone I worked with at the time knew 'someone' in PCHs, and had a large ( for me ) anti post bet on him. At least he had a decent innings.
