Jack Kennedy admits he was deeply flattered to hear Ruby Walsh recently describe him as having “one of the greatest minds in sport” for the resilience he has shown in bouncing back from breaking his leg six times.
The 26-year-old, who looks on course to regain the champion jockey crown he first won in 2024, has a brilliant book of rides for next month’s Cheltenham Festival and admits hearing such glowing praise from a racing legend like Walsh means plenty.
