He reflects on growing up as a small and timid young rider, competing against AP McCoy, Ruby Walsh and Paul Carberry during a golden era of jump jockeys, and the mentality and self-belief that allowed him to perform at the highest level.He also tells the story of how a phone call led to him becoming JP McManus' retained jockey, recalls the magic of Moscow Flyer and Sprinter Sacre, explains the decision behind his famous ride on Champ at Cheltenham and reveals why his Grand National victory on Monty's Pass remains the defining moment of his career.This is Barry Geraghty, in conversation.Follow William Hill Racing and William Hill Ireland on Social Media:📲 Facebook – Search “William Hill Ireland”\n📲 X – @WilliamHillIre\n📲 Instagram – @WilliamHillIrelandSubscribe for more episodes of Inside Track: Ireland – In Conversation.18+ | Please gamble responsibly.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/CjmzGcJS6d0D-H4UuZyoVNsag83nMHVwB1zoYGR58hE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNTRh/NzMzMmQ1OGEwNDU2/NzRhNTkxZjU3MjVm/ZWY4Ni5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
