I have been reading in the Racing Post that Andrew Thornton is retiring tomorrow.  He has been riding for a long time, I rode against him, so that’s how long he has been  a jockey !

I really hope he has a good day tomorrow, and has safe rides on his mounts, I believe he has 3 or 4.  At 46 he is the eldest jump jockey currently riding, that is a feat in its self. He must of had nerves of steel.

A lot of competitive races today, if I was having a bet at Newcastle this evening, I would probably have a small EW on What’s The Story in the 8:15.  It’s a very open race, any one of 3 or 4 could win it.

More tomorrow.
