A few years have passed since Jody McGarvey was enjoying the ride of his life on a certain headbanger by the name of Great Field.
They teamed up to win five races together, including a Grade 1 at the 2017 Punchestown festival, and nothing was ever boring when they rolled into town.
The excitement of being associated with that headline horse died down a long time ago but, in his own words, McGarvey’s fallow period “makes you appreciate the good times that bit more”.
Sunday at Fairyhouse was not just a good day, it was McGarvey’s best day in the saddle.
