Davy Russell

The double Grand National-winning jockey recounts his remarkable life story from his childhood in Youghal to the horse-riding heroics of a superlative career in the saddle.
From Davy Russell's early life to his winning ride on Tiger Roll in the 2018 Grand National, this story has it all. Capturing the highs of an incredible career as a top jockey, from the adrenaline rush of winning the Grand National twice, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris, it also dwells on the devastating blows that Davy experienced through injury and shows his huge resilience and strength of character.
From the point-to-point scene, his big move to England and his first Cheltenham victory in 2006, his experiences at Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown Stud as the number one rider, his charity work with Hurling for Cancer Research, and his retirement. It is a truly remarkable journey written by the most entertaining jockey in the business.
