He's retiring at 21!?
wow.
If he isn't battling weight and height like Joseph, it's hard to imagine a jock that young (with two riding titles to prove he's actually a really good rider) calling a halt to his career.
Well, I wish him the best; his dad and bro should be pretty good advisors.

Both Ana and Sarah rode as amateur jockeys, though mostly horses that their mother, Anne-Marie owned/bred. Though they were (or are) exercise riders at Ballydoyle and Ana would ride Coolmore horses now and then. I would say of the two daughters, Ana rode more, but suffered a really scary fall in 2017 that resulted in serious neck and head injuries and hasn't ridden in a race since.
