Carberry Calls Time

One day after her sister-in-law Katie Walsh retired, Nina Carberry also hung up her tack, after winning her final race, the Dooley Insurances Cross Country Chase at Punchestown aboard Josies Orders (Ire) (Milan {GB}) for trainer Enda Bolger and owner J P McManus.

“It was really sweet to finish off on Josies Orders,” said Carberry. “I think either way I'd have stopped today, whether I'd won or not, I'd chosen a couple of weeks ago that I'd do it this afternoon. Enda has been a massive supporter and I wouldn't have had all the Cheltenham winners without him and J P as well. I'm sad and I'm happy. I'm sad that I'm finished and going to miss all the banter but happy that I've got a new career ahead of me.
