Shane Gorey retired from the saddle at Gowran Park today to take up a role with business and employer association Ibec.
The apprentice has been studying for a masters degree over the last four years and leaves the racing industry having ridden over 80 winners during his career.
Gorey, who has been associated with Dermot Weld throughout his time, had his last ride on Cupertino who finished tenth in the second race.
“I've been in college for the last four years to get my masters in human resources and industrial relations,” said Gorey.
“I rode about 85 winners during my career and this will be a big change now!”
