Jockey Fergus Sweeney, who rode Twilight Son (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) to victory in the 2015 G1 Haydock Sprint Cup, will retire in November, he announced on Twitter Sunday evening. Sweeney is a 25-year veteran of the profession, and he also rode G1 Prix Jean Prat hero Lord Shanakill (Speightstown) early in his career.

“After much thought, I have come to a decision and with a heavy heart, I have decided as of November to call time on my riding career,” said Sweeney via Twitter. “I feel the time is right and I am looking forward to the next chapter. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me in the 25 years that I have been lucky enough to do the job I felt so passionately about. I am hoping that life will be as sweet out of the saddle.”
