The National Hunt jockey and Betway ambassador responds after reaching 3,000 career wins under rules on St Saviour at Ludlow
It’s great to get to the 3,000 mark.
We knew we were getting close. I don’t actually keep a record of every single one, so I was hoping someone would tell me when I got there!
I really must say that I’m only as good as the horses I ride and the trainers and owners I’ve been associated with.
I’d like to thank all the people I’ve ridden for over the past 22 years and obviously my agent Dave Roberts who has done such a fantastic job.
My first winner was Rusty Bridge at Hereford for my granddad, Ivor.
At that stage I thought I was just going to be an amateur jockey riding a few point-to-point winners.
It’s been an amazing experience and I’ve been very fortunate to work with so many great people over the years.
