“The leg is good and strong, but I can’t go out and put the sweatsuit on and run three miles, all the time I’m limping. “I put myself on a strict diet when I was in hospital, but I weighed myself the other day and I was 10 stone. I have a bit of a limp and I’m still not running yet. I’m not in any pain now and the bone has completely healed. “I think I’m a long way from a comeback, because I had such a bad leg injury in May last year.”Ī badly-broken leg twice rejected a nail incision, causing severe infections, and Ahern required a lengthy stay in hospital, diminishing hope that he could return to race-riding. “Ten years is a long time and it has felt like forever,” said Ahern. The 45-year-old rode work on Saturday morning for the first time and was in situ at Somerville Lodge on Monday morning, although a serious leg injury could put paid to any thoughts of a return to race-riding for the time being. Classic-winning jockey Eddie Ahern, whose 10-year ban for passing on inside information and failing to ride a horse on its merits came to an end in May, is exploring all options for the future as he begins riding out for William Haggas.
