    DAVY RUSSELL Age: 33 From: Co Cork Davy Russell hates losing and is very hard on himself in defeat, even when he is blameless. Although the 33-year-old has mellowed a little bit over time, he still lives to win. The Youghal native is a passionate follower of both his local GAA club and Cork, and is no mean hurler himself, as evidenced when he captained a team wearing the Rebel jerseys against a side led by Trainer Jim Bolger in last year’s charity match to raise funds for cancer research. Russell’s competitiveness shone through on that occasion and it is what kept him striving to become champion jockey – something he finally achieved at the end of the 2011/2012 season, having finished second a gut-wrenching five consecutive times before that. He has been booting home winners at an almost monotonous rate since riding his first in the point- to-point sphere in 1999. He went on to be champion two years later, and shared the title with John Thomas McNamara at the end of the 2002 campaign with a then record 56 winners. A switch to the professional ranks followed when he was offered a retainer in England by trainer, Ferdy Murphy and his first winner as a pro came on Inn Antique in a Sedgefield novice hurdle on November 12, 2002. Other notable successes followed on Truckers Tavern, Tribal Venture and Ballinclay King and he finished second on the former in the 2003 Cheltenham Gold Cup. He opted to return to Ireland in 2004 though, and the decision has proven fruitful.

    Welcome to the November 2014 edition of the Donn McClean Racing newsletter. Looking ahead These are the golden weekends of the National Hunt season. Morgiana Hurdle/Paddy Power Gold Cup weekend has just passed, and the schedule over the next few weeks now, leading up to the end of the year, is just about as good as it gets: 22nd/23rd November: Ascot Hurdle, Betfair Chase, Troytown Chase 29th/30th November: Hennessy Gold Cup, Hatton’s Grace Hurdle, Drinmore Chase 6th/7th December: Tingle Creek Chase, John Durkan Chase 13th/14th December: December Gold Cup, International Hurdle 20th/21st December: Long Walk Hurdle, Ladbroke Hurdle 26th-29th December: King George VI Chase, Lexus Chase, Christmas Hurdle, Paddy Power Chase, Welsh Grand National Over the next few weeks, we are probably going to see Sprinter Sacre, Simonsig, Cue Card, Silviniaco Conti, Faugheen, The New One, Djakadam, Smad Place, Bobs Worth, Lord Windermere, Vautour, and just about every other top National Hunt horse in training. The six-week period that runs from now until the end of the calendar year is probably the most exciting six-week period of the season!

This will be an annual compilation of the key statistics for the racing industry in Ireland including significant analysis of betting turnover and breeding output. Irish racing has enjoyed very significant and welcomed growth in many areas in recent years. Buoyant Tote betting, improving attendances at major festivals, increased sponsorship and growth in horses in training all testify to the vibrancy of the sport and its enduring appeal for the Irish public. This is clearly reflected in the many tables and charts contained within.
