Dave Crosse: 'The bone came through the skin - I've never known pain like it'

You've now been a retired jockey for a couple of weeks. How have you been spending your time?

I have so many other things going on that I haven't had a moment's rest. Along with my wife, Rebecca, I've been preparing the room for our first baby, who is due to arrive in three weeks. As well as that, I've been communicating with owners in the Noel Fehily Racing Syndicate, a business in which I'm a partner with Noel. For obvious reasons, my raceday hospitality business has been stalled since the Cheltenham Festival. I was doing all the hospitality work at 16 racecourses and I'm sure that will be a big part of my future when things return to normal. I also managed to play a few rounds of golf before lockdown. Unfortunately, the problem with golf is I turn my phone off for four hours and then after turning it back on I spend four hours catching up.

What were your main strengths and weaknesses as a jockey?
