Jump jockey Aidan Macdonald, who recovered from a life-threatening stroke to resume his riding career, has announced he is quitting the saddle for good.
The 23-year-old conditional will have his final ride at Catterick on Friday when he rides Perfect Man for his boss Micky Hammond.
Macdonald, who has ridden three winners, admitted “things just haven’t been the same since I’ve come back from injury”.
