(Reuters) - Jockey Leighton Aspell was back to his unglamorous ‘bread and butter’ day job on Sunday as the horse racing world pondered whether the record-breaking Irish jockey could go on to make more Grand National history next year.
Less than 24 hours after becoming the first jockey for 61 years to win the one million pound race on different horses in successive years, piloting Many Clouds to victory in front of 72,000 cheering spectators at Aintree, Aspell was riding in a quiet, low-key meeting in the little Lincolnshire town of Market Rasen.
