Pat, Pigeons and Prayers

It’s been two months, three days and sixteen and a half hours since Da Enemy moved in, but who’s counting. She is enjoying herself since she moved over, and you couldn't blame her. She gets to live with four lads...

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.

I've probably broken bones in places people didn't even realise they had bones.
