Crying, Billie, Babies Bottom, Page 2 of 3 an Da making of JockeyStyle Video

Well I should cry more often! In my last blog I was saying that opportunities to ride winners were scarce and that I hadn't ridden a winner in a fair while. When you’re riding for good trainers you immediately have...

About David

Hay, I'm David or Dave Crosse and I'm a professional Jumps jockey originally from near Cashel, Co Tipperary. I am now based and have been for the last 14 years in Lambourn in Berkshire - the home of Jumps racing.
