Couldn’t agree more! We’ve been through a lot recently but being able to smile & laugh was priceless. We’ve celebrated many wins together but this was the biggest win we’ll ever have. (Laughing so much tested the broken ribs) 😏

I’m devastated to be missing him but I’ll be cheering Headwall in the Newmarket today. He’s been a special horse to me with 4 wins & I also won on his mother & 8 of his family members. The owners & I have always had a special bond & it’s been an amazing story

I don’t care if it turns out to be terrible, I can’t wait! The bad part will be putting up with mitchellbeer thinking he can use this swing again…

Get Headwall into the Everest! Any luck he’s a big chance of winning the TJ today. If it’s a wet track in The Everest, he will beat them

It’s the definition of mixed emotions not being able to be on a horse I did so much work on. I have such a close relationship with the owners so I cheered his huge run! Checked and held up until the 200m. Get him in the Everest 👀

I was speechless after watching the full version of this so do yourself a favour and view the full version as it will explain why this horse means so much to me and everyone involved. Go Headwall!

It was a special morning sharing part of my story on The Morning Show with Larry Emdur & Kylie Gillies I’m now at a point where I’m ready to talk about the incident that all but took my life and also how recovery is going.

Let’s go Headwall! Marie would be so proud of this horse and we miss having her with us to celebrate him. We haven’t seen the best of him yet…

Interested to see what everyone thinks about Headwall taking one of the remaining Everest slots He’s 17 starts 6:5:4 (rarely runs a bad race). He has won multiple times on heavy & good. He also has form around the best sprinters. Would you have him? Ron Dufficy Ray Thomas

Without a doubt! The poor bloke not only lost a try but cost them one with Bula picking up the ball & running the field to score

It has been a tough decision to retire from riding as I had a lot to look forward to but it is the right decision for my family & most of all my son who yells out “daddy” every morning as soon as he wakes up. Thank you to all of the connections that supported me for 17 years

Thank you to everyone who has sent kind comments & messages. I did my best to not only provide winners but also make race days a great experience for my owners & to have many messages from owners thanking me is very special to me. Watch 7HorseRacing 🐎 today for more insight.
