Bungle from Magic Roundabout just called me to ask why Channel Four haven't been in touch yet to find out his thoughts on AP's retirement. I told him he is fifth in line behind The Pope, Rose West, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Oddy and a pair of my clean undercrackers Come on Sprinter ...........................
As Henrietta Knight said, it's good he's retiring in one piece. Especially with the injuries he's had during his career. AP will be 41 in May, how many NH jockeys are still riding aged 41 or older? She provided AP with two Grade 1 winners in horses I liked a lot, Edredon Bleu and Best Mate!
Time to draw stumps with Sprinter Sacre. That was a very weak race and he was bossed by Special Tiara. Do the right thing and retire him.
Sprinter Sacre ran a credible race but still a shadow of his former self. Connections would be justified in retiring him. He would've won this easily at his best.
Get in Special tiara you beauty! I read ap's autobiography to oddy.admitedly ap was hard to live with when they first started courting.she is a lovely lass indeed
Wouldn't it be funny if McCoy came out tomorrow and said he was going to ride another year after all the attention today
AP couldn't win on Box Office, the worst jockey there's ever been! You heard Jonjo, "The way he rode that, he'll never ride for me ever again". You know I'm joking, the complete opposite, the best there's ever been, both on the flat and over jumps.
Great send off for the greatest there has ever been, and the greatest there will ever be. Hope he finds the right balance in his life going forward and thanks for the memories AP.
Think made with love has a good chance ind nxt at donny. Looks like spurs defender kyle naughton is in serious with his missus!
I reckon AP will have six months off and then start going mad with boredom, he will then start helping out a Jonjo's stable in a very unofficial but dedicated and hard working way, learning the details of training. I then think in about 3 years time Jonjo will announce he is to retire and AP will take over the job backed as ever my JP - and I reckon he will be a success. Whatever you do however AP, the very best of luck and thank you.
