Another shocking tragedy,such a young man.
Didn't see the race although there were a few involved.
Best wishes to Mark's family & friends.

Very sad.They deserve all of the money they get.Perhaps the trainers who bag jockeys may now think before they speak.

Saw today that Lonagan Milham is in hospital with head injuries.

Let's hope he pulls through.

Has been a bad couple of months for racing.

Someone asked me the other day.." Which jockey do you hate" I suprised him with my answer.." None of them".
Jockeys earn every cent they can get. They could die on every ride, trackwork included. They virtually starve themselves their whole careers, only the very few lucky ones don`t have to diet. They keep the worst hours imaginable, they have health issues later on in life due to all of the above, i take my hat off to the little ommpa loompa`s
Not another sportsperson comes close to what these fellas have to put up with.
