Dobbin retires after dramatic winning finish at Carlisle

It almost ended in tears, but Tony Dobbin signed off his riding career on a winning note when he brought Ballyvoge home in front in a dramatic finish at Carlisle.

Sixth in the all-time list of winning-most jump jockeys in Britain, Dobbin is to learn the ropes of the training game as he prepares to assist his partner Rose Davidson at purpose-built yard in 2009.
