Did anyone hear word that Barry Geraghty plans to retire at the end of the Season ?

can't say that I have
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Between this and McCoy, if there's any truth in either, it isn't hard to imagine a lack of quality coming through the ranks being a possible factor. If there was something genuinely exciting coming though you'd maybe want to hang on in there.
Illegitimi non carborundum
If so then Sprintre Sacre must be done for
For what its worth I dont think either will retire this year but can see both Barry and AP along with Ruby finishing riding within 2/3 years
What is left when all three of those have gone, seriously? Jumps racing will be a much worse place. ******* Sam T-D Champion jockey, give me strength.
Would love to see RJ as champion jock
RJ is a jockey I can't quite figure out.
My head tells me he must be out of the top drawer, but my heart and eyes tell me he lacks both the power of a McCoy or a Geraghty, and the finesse of a Walsh or a Carberry.
My opinion of his rides fluctuates between competent to careful to bottler to clever with ever passing race, but it rarely reaches the extremes of outstanding or hopeless.
For me, he is a special type of journeyman jockey; competent, honest and loyal - an attractive combo for straight-up-and-down trainers like Hobbs, Daly and Bowen.
He'll be rated right up there with Peter Scudamore.

I'd be amazed if Geraghty retired at the end of this season.
Reckon AP/Ruby/BG will go on for 2/3 years

Am I right in thinking that BG has had fewer bad injuries in his career than either AP or Ruby?
Think Ruby may get out earlier, he was talking about training horses for flat racing in RP on Sunday (" that's where the money is" )and his wife is expecting their third child now.

Unfortunately for Johnson even if AP retires, a little fly in the ointment in Maguire is there to **** him orf in his quest for the title.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
Johnson most definitely deserves at least one championship. You're comparing him, Grassy, with peers from an outstanding generation.
Johnson must be well into his thirties now too.
Wondering how JP will divvy up his jockey bookings this March
Will Mark Walsh get to ride the horses he has ridden all winter or will Barry get first pick on the Irish trained horses too

I’d imagine it’ll be as it has all season. Walsh will have the main Irish horses, Geraghty the main UK ones.

JP has too many horses and some with trainers that are below average...as for Barry G?..should never have left Nicky
