Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te 'riro nui a Robbie McNamara' i te mea kei te ora tonu ia i nga whara kino i pa mai i te hinganga i Wexford. Ko te jockey i tika ki te hoa o te toa Cheltenham Gold Cup o te tau kua hipa a Lord Windermere i te Crabbie's Grand National i Aintree, engari he maha nga wharanga i puta i te pouri i te hinganga mai i Bursledon i roto i te aukati aukati i te ra o mua. Kei te noho tonu a McNamara ki te Whare Hauora o Mater i Dublin, ahakoa kaore ano kia rongo i ona waewae, i taea e ia te wehe atu i tana moenga mo te wa tuatahi ki te koa ki te ra i te Turei. Kua whati a Robbie McNamara e waru ngā kōpae, e ono ngā kōwae, ā, kāore ōna waewae i te rongo. E mea ana a McNamara kei te 'nui, kei te tino tūmanako' i a ia e ora ana i ngā whara nui. I a ia e korero ana i roto i te Final Furlong Podcast, ka mea a McNamara: 'He pai taku ahua, kei te tumanako tonu ahau. Kāore au i te rongo i ōku waewae i tēnei wā, engari he tīmatanga noa iho. 'Kua kino taku tuara, kua pakaru, ā, he nui te ruru. Ko te tūmanako kei te heke iho te nui o te pupuhi me te pakaru, ka taea e ētahi o te kino o te uaua te whakatika, ā, ka hoki mai pea ētahi o ngā āhuatanga. 'He tino kaha ahau i nga ra katoa. Kei te mahi ahau i te physisio, me te mahi i runga i te pauna me te urupare. 'E kore e taea e au te mahi i te puranga katoa i te mea e waru aku whekau i whati, e ono hoki aku whekau i pakaru, nō reira kāore e taea e au te mahi i tētahi mea tino taumaha. I whakairihia e te kaieke he whakaahua i te Turei e kii ana ki ana akonga i ara ia i te moenga mo te wa tuatahi mai i te hinganga. 'He nui ngā mea hei pupuri i a koe e noho ana, kei te pai au ki aku rā, ā, kei te tino pai taku wairua. Kāore he whakaaro kino i roto i ahau. 'Ko te wā tuatahi i ara ake ai ahau i te moenga (i te Rātū). He miharo i whakaaetia ai ahau ki te haere ki waho, he tino nui, he ra tino ataahua hoki. 'I reira tōku whaea me tōku pāpā, ā, ka puta he ataata ki ō rātau kanohi, he mea pai ki te kite i te mea ehara i te mea māmā ki a rātau.'
I hinga te kaieke i Wexford i te 10 o Paenga-whāwhā, ā, i whara kinotia ia. Heoi, e mea ana a Robbie McNamara kei te 'whakaaro' ia i a ia e ora ana. E waru ana kōpeka i whati, e ono ngā kōpeka i pakaru, ā, kāore e taea e ia te rongo i ōna waewae.
