It has been reported that Mick Kinane is set to announce his retirement from horse racing.
The 50-year-old, who rode Sea the Stars to victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris eight weeks ago, is now expected to follow the colt into retirement.
Kinane couldn't be contacted as he is returning from Japan where he rode at the weekend.
The Tipperary man has been champion jockey of Ireland 13 times and has ridden winners in the 2,000 Guineas four times, the Epsom Derby three times, the Melbourne Cup in Australia and, in the United States, the Belmont Stakes.
