]]> 2945 Jim Crowley: "My Leg Was Facing the Wrong Way" | The Racing TV Podcast Dan Barber is joined by Chris Dixon, in for Martin this week, to look back on the Qatar Goodwood Festival and Galway — and by Jim Crowley, days after he called time on his riding career. Crowley describes the moment he knew the injury had beaten him: "When I looked at my leg and it was facing the wrong way, I thought, well, I won't be riding Anmaat in the Champion Stakes on Sunday." He also explains why he thinks race riding comes down almost entirely to a jockey's confidence, how professionalism in the weighing room has changed across his career, and looks back on Royal Scotsman — the one that got away. On the festival itself, Chris makes the case that Qatar's sponsorship has transformed Goodwood, filling the fields at a time when small fields have blighted the flat. "The flat racing generally of late has been blighted by really small fields — Goodwood's such a tonic from that." Dan and Chris both share their top three moments of the week. And where does Bow Echo sit? The comparisons with Frankel and Kingman get an airing, with Dan reflecting that making up that ground on top-class horses was as good as anything he saw all week.
