Subject: Black Armbands On Author: NWAS [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:37:32 07/20/02 Sat WILLIAMSON RETURNS TO IRELAND By Robert Pratt, PA Sport Top jump jockey Norman Williamson has announced that he is set to continue his riding career in his native Ireland. Williamson, 33, who is currently on the sidelines after breaking his shin in a fall at Punchestown in April, has cited better prize money in Ireland as one of the main reasons for his decision. "The biggest part of my recent career has been to get on the best horses I can in Ireland, where not only is the prize money greater but the standard of racing is very high," he told the Racing Post. "You only have to look at the sales reports in Ireland to see where the money is. "It makes commercial sense for me to go back there, and I won't miss the seven days a week schedule I've set myself over the past two years from October through to March." Williamson, who achieved the Champion Hurdle-Cheltenham Gold Cup double on Alderbrook and Master Oats in 1994, will base himself at the Curragh and hopes to resume riding in September. ========================================================== Sniff.
