Rides the first 4 miles to around and then goes for it.
Very quiet rider in big chases, usually spotted sprinting past tired horses having given his beast little chance of actually winning.
A truly staggering performance.
Lots of the jockeys seem obsessed with racing to the Melling Road , rather than the finish line.

He was even on Cappa Bleu when State Of Play didn't finish ......
Which jockey has won the most races over the National fences?
Staggeringly I have seen posts on this topic where people have used the stat as proof he is a poor jockey as he should have converted at least one of those to a win. Utter morons.
It is a sensational record that probably will never be replicated. Is there even another jockey who has completed the last seven nationals, let alone get placed?
Hats off, amazing effort.

I too have seen these ludicrous statements , Roger.
It is a remarkable set of performances , simply avoiding trouble from within the field each year is some achievement.
