Lets not get too carried away Red Rum,Dessie was the best jumper i have ever seen , he ruled the roost in late 80's and early 90's UK jumps racing. A magnificent animal my fondest memory was of him winning at Kempton on Boxing day THE TORCH 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks guys It was a great thrill and as anyone who was on course saw or heard the course was buzzing.

Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted August 9, 2018 Im hearing your jockey has been given a decent bit of time for the Whip exuberance. 8 weeks is a long time to be without riding income for jumps jockeys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dessie lived to a ripe old age too. We had a corp box at Sandown right beside Sheik Mohammad. Never saw him on jumps days but him and his 10 security were often there for significant flat meetings.And yes Dessie liked that course as well Red Rum 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohokaman 5,763 Report post Posted August 9, 2018 I was surprised that he was still using the whip after the last when clear...that extravagant action probably didn't help him much. Does seem a hefty price to pay.....basically writes him off for the jumps season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure all those owners with deep pockets will be filling his tip jar to keeping him going over that period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
