Murtagh Takes Time Out Johnny Murtagh is to take a few days off from race-riding in order to stabilise his weight.But the multiple Group One-winning rider, who has been plagued with weight problems for the past couple of seasons, plans to be back in action at the three-day King George meeting at Newbury.'It´s been difficult for him to keep going into the sauna in this heat, so he thought he´d take a few days off to stabilise his weight without having to go into the sauna, but he´ll be fine,' said his agent Dave Pollington on Monday evening.'He is looking to return at Newbury on Friday.'(C) PA Sport
