There are similarities with TIMMY and R.WALSH in that both their fathers were both Irish champion amateur jockeys and it was no surprise that he turned professional early in his career and moved to England where he established himself a force in the national hunt scene. Has had a chequered career lately)but has sorted that out with great professionalism. Took over from A.P. at the D.PIPE set-up @ POND HOUSE and within a short period of time he won the GRAND NATIONAL on COMPLY OR DIE IN ’08. There are few jockeys in front of TIMMY in the pecking order when trainers need a top jockey for their charges. Visit our Grand National Tips page. Timmy’s forte is letting his mount travel at the back of the field and quietly pick of the field and produce his mount as late as possible. According to most there is no body better in executing this manoeuvre.
