Double at Newmarket

Great evening yesterday for me at the Newmarket July Course with two winners.
I was really impressed with 'Mountain Hiker'. He is related to the top stayer 'Darley Sun' who I have also won on. This horse is sure to come on again and be even better at 1m 6f and maybe 2m.

6.10 Newmarket: Sportingbet.com Maiden Stakes (1m 4f) Class 4
Horse:  Mountain Hiker (IRE)
Owner: Mr Saeed Suhail
Trainer: J Noseda.

7.10 Newmarket: Sportingbet.com E.B.F. Conditions Stakes (6f) Class 3
Horse:  Excelebration (IRE)
Owner: Mr Giuliano Manfredini
Trainer: M Botti.

1st Winner After Injury.

I was delighted to ride my first winner today since my injury. Hopefully many more winners will follow.
I think Mark Tompkins horses have now turned the corner and he is definitely the trainer to watch in the very near future.

3.45 Yarmouth: Royce Burrows - A Lifetime In Racing Award Handicap
Horse:  Watch Chain
Trainer: Mark Tompkins

Back In The Saddle.

I was pleased to get back in the saddle yesterday and I felt good but would have to admit that I will have to come on for my race fitness.
I am currently travelling up to Haydock today, unfortunately M Tompkins' horse does not run.
Hopefully I can ride my first winner back on the G Oldroyd horse 'Chosen Forever'. He looks to have a great chance after running well in a better race at York.

Racing Post Interview.

I have a full page article in today's 'Racing Post' about my return to racing and my views for the future.
