The Cork jockey became the youngest winning rider at the Cheltenham Festival in 2010
The County Cork native, who became the youngest winning rider at the Cheltenham Festival after steering Michael Hourigan’s A New Story to victory in the 2010 Glenfarclas Chase as a 17-year-old, has decided to call time on his riding career. A month after that success he landed the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown aboard Church Island for the same trainer.
But McNeill and Heskin parted company last year, prompting the rider to return to his homeland, and while he enjoyed a Grade Two victory for Willie Mullins aboard Hauturiere at Limerick over the Christmas period, that was only four winners for Heskin in Ireland last season and he has decided to call time on his career in the saddle.
