He achieved his biggest success, aged 22, on King’s Road in the 2000 Hennessy Gold Cup. King's Road galloped through what looked like mulligatawny soup for a five-length victory over Gingembre in conditions that resulted in half the field being pulled up. Three weeks before that Newbury triumph, Jamie had ridden King’s Road to finish second in the Badger Brewery Chase at Wincanton.
