This week is the first week that I'm really going to miss being a jockey. There'll be a huge atmosphere in Galway with the crowds back at Ballybrit.
But retirement is great. I've been busy at the sales purchasing a couple of horses and I'm looking forward to the week.
The opening race of the meeting looks like a good opportunity for Hms Seahorse to follow up his very impressive win on the flat at the Curragh the last time.
