Denis O\u2019Regan has retired just 12 days after he became the first jump jockey to ride a winner at every current British and Irish racecourse.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Regan, 41, completed the full house when he won on Fiveonefive at Hereford on November 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He announced he was ending his career after winning on Solly Attwell at Navan yesterday.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Regan rode more than 800 winners, his career tally including seven Grade One wins and four Cheltenham Festival successes, the highlights being victories for Inglis Drever and Tidal Bay in 2008.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Regan, who overcame a back injury to reach his landmark, said: \u2018It was a huge effort to get back for Hereford. I\u2019m 41 and have had a fair few falls. You need goals and when Hereford was done, it\u2019s hard to find another one.\u2019<\/p>\n
