"Murtagh calls time on glittering career
NEWS: "Jonathan Mullin brings news: "JOHNNY MURTAGH who built a career as a jockey on winning big races,  is in focus 100 per cent on his second career as a trainer after he yesterday stunned the racing world by announcing his retirement from the saddle at the age of 43.
 
"Murtagh bows out after an incredible career spanning  26 seasons and culminating in 106 victories at the highest level.
"I'm very clear in my mind this is the right decision and I have to begin the next chapter in my life now," Murtagh said. "

 Graham Dench:
 
 ONE OF THE GREATEST HORSEMAN that the political and horseracing government have ever met, and will ever be likely too meet.
Government need to be thanking their lucky stars for his true lifetime Equus contribution to horseracing. Not threatening him as a crook which not so long ago they did.  As they publicly
blackmailed him into believing they were considering taking his license away.

CONGRATULATIONS
 LEANNE MASTERSON WINS RIDER- MINDER OF THE YEAR AWARD 
AT GODOLPHIN PARTY
TEAM (Andrew) BALDING.

 "The tenth annual Godolphin Awards Roll of Honour held at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in London on Tuesday night. 


 
"Tony McCoy presented Leanne with a cheque for £30,000, half of which will be shared among her team mates at Kingsclere
 
 
"Masterson, 34, first joined Ian Balding as a sixteen-year- old apprentice - riding seven winners - before taking over travelling the horses. Last year she travelled with Side Glance to the UAE, the US, Hong Kong and Australia, where he won the Group 1 Mackinnon Stakes. Leanne tells us "It's quite a responsibility  and a bit of pressure. You become friends of the horses you care for every day. Side Glance has done so much for me, I owe him so much, he is my best friend.
 
 
JMC: How long will it be before Trainer Team Handler-Riders  - Minders get properly recognised for the part they play in preparing each racehorse to compete on the global racetracks around the world?  To be allowed to have a true career structure. To be allowed to be  fully recognised and properly paid? British Football Team's buy the players to make up their teams, and further pay each player a proper wage, and that is for kicking a ball about.  The true value of  attempting to train  racehorses  every day ..... massive.   Trainers need ace handler - riders to make up their teams.  Top professional handler - riders  bloodhorse literate achievers in their own right,  deserve to be paid a top wage for the skills they have achieved. To be paid only a minimum wage , scandalous. Government theft on a massive scale.
