Lovely Bottoms and a Classic DingBat

Racing for me has been tipping away nicely recently, getting a few placed at big prices since our mid-summer break. But getting on horses at this time of year with winning chances is hard to come by but it's not...

Tying Da Knot, Holidays and DingBats

There has been no jumps racing for 10 days and I've been looking forward to it for quite some time as I've been fairly busy this summer. It's great having a gap with no jumping as it gives everyone a...

This is the last full week of racing before our much needed 10 days off and a busy week lies ahead for me. Uttoxeter last night bore no fruit, Worcester this evening and I plan to fly out to Ireland...

Weekend Away, Da Menace, Fehily an TooleDAwG and The Test

Racing has been very quiet over last few weeks due to the weather and lack of jumps meetings but it's given my social life a kick start! A group of 14 so-called jockeys and valets headed to Chester two weeks...

Women, Hitting da Net, Gypsies, My song and a Legend

A hectic few weeks has passed. I'm delighted to say, I've been very busy racing for this time of year and it's interrupting my golf so long may it continue.  Since my last blog I've had a nice winner for...

Tennis...Winners...Celebrity Golfer!

Things are really tipping away nicely for me at the minute with 3 winners in the last 9 days. Not bad especially at this time of year when with single figure fields and AP McCoy and Dicky Johnson are available...

Proper work, A Lucky Lady and into The West

Keeping it under 2000RPH, ChocDAwG lookalike and Da Sock Bandit strikes again!

Racing has been busy enough over the last week with me attending Hereford, Aintree, Uttoxeter and Stratford. Evening meetings are a killer for us Jocks as we are up early to ride out every morning and then have the day...

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.

Racing has been going well for me this season and I hope to make a big impact this winter when the proper jumps racing starts.

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