    Willie has plenty of good work riders. Casey the best by all accounts.

    I can't see him bothering with it when he has so many strings to his bow.

    Nailed on to work for Willie -he needs the Cheltenham buzz next March -will do every conceivable nixer and possibly drive Willie cracked.

    I could see him taking on the flat side of Willy's operation. Trips to the Melbourne Cup, Royal Ascot and the like, buying yearlings for Richbags.

    Recall an interview a couple of years ago in which he said if he were to become a trainer in the future it would be as a flat trainer.

    Given the number of multi millionaire owners at WPM's I cannot see him straying too far away; lots of commissions to be got .

    Paddy power will shill him for a few years yet

    Plenty of media, assistant job at Willie's and probably a second auto biography
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
