Davy Russell has retired from race-riding after celebrating a final winner on home turf.
The 43-year-old, who struck aboard Liberty Dance at Thurles, has been a professional jockey for over 20 years and was named Irish jumps champion on three occasions.
Announcing he was calling time on his career in the saddle, he said in a statement: "My journey began 43 years ago with the support of my parents who gave me the most outstanding childhood - never restricting me and giving me the freedom to begin my journey. My mother is no longer here but she has always had my back - I still feel her watching over me today."
