Mick Kinane to call it a day.

Greg, washed up on a distant shore far far away from the nearest racecourse would be good for some of that lot. You know, one of those cartoon islands that are two metres wide with a palm tree in the middle.

and sharks swimming around it...or are those the sharks on the Island

Hows this for buddies

Good call from Oxx, looking after the loyalty from Berry

Berry confirmed as new stable jockey to Oxx

FRAN BERRY will ride as stable jockey for John Oxx during the 2010 season, when he will succeed the recently retired Mick Kinane as number one at Currabeg stables.

Berry, 28, has been number two jockey to Oxx in recent years and his appointment was confirmed by the trainer at the Horse Racing Ireland 2009 awards lunch at Leopardstown racecourse on Monday.


Oxx said: "Fran has been an important part of our team for seven or eight years now. He is a very good jockey and we are happy to have him as our number one jockey for next year.

"He's been waiting in the wings and I'm sure he has been looking at Mick [Kinane]'s birthdays appearing in the newspapers every year for the past few years."

Berry is currently in Singapore, where he will be riding until February. He said on Monday: "Getting the number one job at Mr Oxx's is a dream come true for me. It's something I'm really looking forward to and I will be returning home early in February to get ready for the new season."
