Champion Jockey Oisin Murphy discusses a range of subjects in his latest blog as well as talking through an excellent book of rides on Ayr Gold Cup day on Saturday.
A weight off my mind
I suppose I am refreshed after my enforced week on the sidelines due to suspension, but I can’t say there were many positives.
It was galling missing all of those good races at the St Leger meeting and I took myself off to Italy for a few days to try and forget about it.
It’s not easy, though, and I ate too much. I went from 8st 11lb to 9st 2lb which might not sound a lot to you but it’s pretty fat for a jockey!
I was rather swollen, but I was back Saturday and I did a fair bit of running over the weekend to shift the Italian bulge. Thankfully, I was fine by Monday.
