Willy Twiston-Davies: putting on a stone in two days ended my riding career

By Racing TV

Last Updated: Sun 11 May 2025

Willy Twiston-Davies told Racing TV viewers about his how promising riding career on the Flat came to an abrupt halt.

He rode almost 200 winners on the Flat between 2012 and 2016 but then weight issues caught up with him.

Twiston-Davies also spoke openly about how he and his "best friend", his Dad Nigel, work together in their pursuit for more winners, plus revealed plans for the yard's Grade One-winning hurdler Potters Charm.
