Double act delivers

One is a jockey who had never previously taken to serving just the one boss, the other a businessman whose hands-on approach included a shift loading luggage onto one of his English-bound planes earlier this week. It should have never worked, but it has and does.

Davy Russell has admitted before that his career had hit a dip before he was offered the opportunity to become the retained jockey for Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown operation. He has spoken, too, about how he turned it down only to change his mind minutes later.

As u-turns go, it was a doozie.
