Robbie Power was on Wednesday reflecting on one of the toughest decisions of his riding career, after leaving his family behind to base himself in Britain due to the current restrictions in place because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning jockey has made frequent trips across the Irish Sea in recent seasons, enabling him to ride for both Jessica Harrington at home and Colin Tizzard in Britain.
