You know, after all the rehab and stuff I've done, come back and rides on your probably Thursday on DDE had been just great to get back in the saddle and fingers trust Find if you win.

It's fun, if you will, Is now you've been out.

I think it's five weeks since you fall Exeter.

I think I'll be 37 days when you actually come back.

How do you actually do that?

To come back from a broken arm so so quickly?

That technology would seem very quick, I think.

Look, I was lucky Jerry Elliott again to be a doctor.

He straightaway he should have.

It was a motion put me in touch with Mr Hargreaves, whose decision that put the plate in, got it all sort of back in line on Gucci.

From then on, I've had no pain with it all, and it's being very, very good luck enough.

The operation went very well, Andi, just being a case of exercise and swimming. 00:00:58.290 --> 00:01:4.950 And yeah, everything's keep keep myself, you know, you keep the body going, and then hopefully that means to quickly get back. 00:01:5.840 --> 00:01:8.110 It's five weeks, and you've been away as well. 00:01:8.120 --> 00:01:12.130 We've been doing some not swimming on dhe of different exercises.

And how much is that team around you?

So important?

Yeah, very much so.

Jimmy, I'm again.

I'm lucky to have Jerry Hill.

That sort of you put the put me in touch with the right surgeon and everything else.

But then you know all the people, folksy house, a lot busier around the race courses.

You know, they're they're all great for support and advice as well.

And I've got a visual I use at home a lot.

Well, Kate Davis that, you know, she would be fantastic as well, but again, it's a team effort.

You know, my wife, she probably the one that was important.

Yeah, she organ organized all the right supplements.

We needed to take enough vitamin D in it on all that sort of thing.

And she makes forever a reasonably healthy diet toe again.

You know, the quicker the better we prepared, you are in the 50 or the quickly. 00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:0.300 Your body would heal Possible, right? 00:02:0.300 --> 00:02:2.100 A Ludlow, a couple of muscle. 00:02:2.100 --> 00:02:4.460 But you know exactly what, your baby just depends. 00:02:4.820 --> 00:02:5.720 Yeah, just depends. 00:02:5.720 --> 00:02:6.080 Really. 00:02:6.710 --> 00:02:10.450 Jerry was pretty key for me to start off back in a bumper stroke.

Sort of.

Safe, safe, safe hurdles.

No.

Again.

The one I love there is It is a novice handicap chase.

So Well, we'll just see what you know.

Dave Roberts again.

He's the man that sort of organized most of my life on a daily basis when I'm writing and yeah, he knows best where to go.

And again, it's just nice to anything that on Thursday I'll be back, actually.

Doing what I what I do do do mainly now when you are out injured, I'm sure there were two key motivating factors.

One was the title, your title, What you want for the last four years.

And the Children festival.

Yeah, I think.

Soon as I had the injury, I was laying in Exeter.

Uh, jockeys sort of jockeys room in, in, in, in the ambience room bit.

And you know what I was thinking about really was the championship, because yeah, that's the one thing that's always made meant most to me.

And I knew that office. 00:02:59.450 --> 00:03:5.140 It's gonna be very difficult after an injury like this on deceit, helping festival off again. 00:03:6.160 --> 00:03:7.220 Often Ativan. 00:03:7.220 --> 00:03:8.580 I wasn't going there, but, you know, nature. 00:03:8.580 --> 00:03:11.830 It was the Yeah, The Gold Cup, I think, is the best race of the season.

And that was you know, I worry that I wouldn't vote for that.

But again, this dinner, the recovery is being pretty good.

At least I'll definitely tell them.

Yeah, I could still give the title of a crack, even though, you know, I've got a lot of ground to make up.

Yeah.

I mean, you're a sore neck and neck.

When you were injured, We probably thought he might be at its prime fuse.

Might be outside by the time you're back.

But with the wet weather, I think in the gaps only 19 isn't it?

So the door slightly ajar for you?

Yeah, it's Yeah, it's a job.

I think.

You know, I've got a lot of work to do it, You know, I've got to write 19 more than Brian.

You're right.

It's not just dried 19 but again, you know, it has given me a still a small chance.

And again the weather's deaf, you know, being my favorite, you know, But they've obviously missed quite a few meetings. 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:0.070 And Officer, I have missed as much as I thought I would. 00:04:0.070 --> 00:04:3.450 And he's probably hasn't had the opportunity to write as many as you'd like. 00:04:3.460 --> 00:04:6.590 But again, it's gonna be hard work, but it will definitely give it a go. 00:04:6.590 --> 00:04:9.040 Go on doesn't type of sort of mean more to you. 00:04:9.050 --> 00:04:12.960 As the years go on, each time does it just becomes more sweeter to win it.

I think it does read.

The 1st 1 was obviously, you know, the highlight of my career because, you know, it's all I've ever wanted to do.

But again, you every time he actually comes rain, you don't let anybody else have it.

And I think if if I'm not able to t to win it back this year, it actually made me, if anything more walking next year to try and put the record straight, Great.

We're going to see you next year, Whatever.

Now Sheldon's on the horizon two weeks away.

Today, Native River, sadly, isn't running.

What are the ones you're really looking forward to, um, what time he'll look.

I think he's We're not quite sure where he's gonna go off without.

Barlow is, you know, looks perhaps like here.

Not an easier option. 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:0.650 There will be very difficult, but off the envoy, Alan looks like he might run in two and 1/2. 00:05:0.650 --> 00:05:5.050 So at the moment, that's that's an option, because this is also a student in the Valley. 00:05:5.050 --> 00:05:14.110 Maura's Well, so it would be a case of unfortunately for people listening, watching, I think, you know, Philip will make a decision on the Monday probably of of that week.

So, um, I'd like to think he's got a great chance in both.

Beat him the bumper last year, so Yeah, he's off.

So you would probably were most worried about you know, that the novitiate isn't helping this year, I think, Look, you know, as strong as they have for you for a long time, Yeah.

I mean, he's adaptable over both trips, so, you know, wherever he goes, yeah, he's never won over three miles, but, you know, he relaxes well in he takes it in stride.

He stays well, so I'd be surprised we didn't get three miles but it is a It's unknown in the shallow.

We did look like he was a horse that would get three quite quite well.

Yeah, that's I think that's the thing.

Any any handles off ground again.

You relax is well.

I think the occasion, everything hopefully won't get to S o again.

I liked it whichever way he goes for here. 00:05:58.470 --> 00:06:1.170 Probably my best ride of the of the week. 00:06:1.180 --> 00:06:2.260 Anything else on your mind? 00:06:2.770 --> 00:06:3.260 Really? 00:06:3.270 --> 00:06:7.330 Before the brewing up a storm, he was, you know, he's one is two novice chases. 00:06:7.330 --> 00:06:20.290 Really well, I had a small needle for Christmas, so he hasn't run, But again, he's Murphy said he couldn't be happy with Channel the right signs at home, and I think a real strong run Arkle on testing ground.

I think that that should see him to his best effect.

So fingers crossed.

You know, he's got another great chance.

And you know this office here, 20 in the handicaps that could I could sort of give us a pretty good chance as well.

I think Labarga Roy, she's she's entered.

In the one hand, he kept.

Whether she goes there or not is obviously wait to see.

But again, you know, when you got a portion of that to look forward to, it makes makes me even can tear back how many years since your first Children ride first tell the ride.

Oh gosh, Commit me sandalwood.

I think it's at 94 95.

I'm not quite sure.

But yet 99 was anthems for my first win of the year on Answer and that Steffy a day. 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:0.250 I'll never forget the same buzz. 00:07:0.790 --> 00:07:3.110 Yeah, and again, you know, to tell the festival. 00:07:3.110 --> 00:07:4.190 And it's four days now. 00:07:4.190 --> 00:07:5.170 It's even easier to be three. 00:07:5.170 --> 00:07:14.910 But any race, their bumper, the cross country race for the Gold Cup There a ll you know he'd never give any of them back, you know, they all very important.

And again, it's just such a hard place to win.

So you know when you do when you make the most of it, this week you've got someone you used to tell us about.

Yes, Well, you know, you know, delighted that you haven't had a sponsor for the last few months.

Onda Race imposed toe.

Gonna come on board and sponsor me.

Andrea, you'll see recent post on my leg, You know, from hopefully end end, end of this week, a day weekend on some of your words across all the different platforms as well, you know, Definitely.

Maybe.

Hopefully you know, there'll be times I'm in here doing, you know, the shows and in the paper as well.

So it's, um Yeah, hopefully, lots to look forward to.

And you know, is this is the main racing paper.

So it's great to be attached to work with Richard.

Welcome aboard. 00:07:59.410 --> 00:08:0.080 Thank you so much. 00:08:1.380 --> 00:08:1.680 Really.
