Wasn't there a flat jockey who won on one, one year?

Jamie Frank Spencer rode Pizarro to victory for Ed o'grady in 2002.

Lester Piggott rode a Triumph Hurdle winner in his youth. His only ride ever in the race. A 100% record.

Would the flat boys like Bryony riding in the Derby

nobody in their right mind would put him up in this

RP only lists him as having only a flat licence. So hope he is not up.

Overpaid flat jockey stealing opportunities from jump jockeys is a disgrace.

There would have been uproar if Andrew Thornto had jocked someone off in the Derby.

Johnny Murtagh rode Golden Cross in the (2006) Ladbrokes World Hurdle and btn a head by My Way De Solzen ridden by Robert Thorton.

Would Oisin not be a bit light for the Cheltenham bumper?

Johnny still gets ribbed about that ride

Don't get me wrong I love Johnny Murtagh. A giant in the saddle and proving to be no mean trainer either.
I did love it though when his daughter did a very teenage thing and moaned that he should stop saying "I really love this game" to the cameras. It showed that behind every star there is a family like any other. Has there ever been a Dad in world history who didn;t slightly embarrass their teenage daughter at one time or another.
