Sam Waley-Cohen won't reverse his decision to retire from the saddle after winning the Randox Grand National aboard 50-1 shot Noble Yeats at at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday.
But the 39-year-old admits it may “feel like a girlfriend going off with someone else” when he sees Noble Yeats back on the track with another jockey in the saddle.
Waley-Cohen landed a seventh victory over the big Aintree fences but a first in the world's greatest steeplechase when he partnered the Emmet Mullins-trained seven-year-old to a two-and-a-quarter-length victory over 15-2 favourite Any Second Now over the weekend.
