David Maxwell announces retirement.

He finally decided to wake up and smell the coffee.

Enjoy your retirement David.

Thats another golden egg gone was like finding it in the street laying him on them short ones ;-(
;;-(

You'd be hard pressed to find someone to extol his jockeyship prowess but fair play to a guy prepared to break his back three time and then come back to break it a fourth time.
Finished 6th in a Grand National which sets him apart from many others in his field.
Hangs up his boots but stays in the game he loves.

We have lost a forum favourite jockey.

Loved like fiddling Fergal Lynch and Shane smelly Kelly.

That's one of my 3 golden rules gone.
Never bet anything ridden by Maxwell.
The other 2 are: Don't bet in sellers or claimers. Don't bet anything ridden by Luke Morris

Good luck to him.

His horses going to a dispersal sale Cheltenham 24th October

He made Brod Munroe Wilson, look like
The equine star, of the cirque du soleil

A bit of a hero for me . A true sportsman . Hope he hasn't damaged his back permanently

I hope he hasn’t damaged the vertibrates , of all the horses
He threw his leg over? Spent entire races, vigorously bouncing up and
Down on their backs.

He would never of gotten a single ride in a race, on merit,
Never mind riding a winner, if he hadn‘t owned all those horses.

I wouldn’t buy his rocking horse, at the dispersal sale

Nichols and Hobbs eulogising, oh dear, now you’re not
Riding them, we will gladly train the new ones, after you
Decide, you need more publicity, after your rodeo days
Of riding fade.
