PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

INJURY TIME OUT TO HEAL

All professional jockeys are susceptible to falls, when this happens, often put out of action as Robert (Choc) Thornton, and Ruby Walsh are now, for months , years even, or put out for good as Mick Fitzgerald, to name only a few here.

Do we in this country take all professional jockey's too much for granted? Is there enough thorough back up support for these riders, when all of a sudden they find themselves sidelined, unable to work, to earn a living?

The answer is sadly a resounding no.

We have Paul Roy Chairman, and Nic Coward Chief Executive, of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) Both these two men take huge wages out of this sport, but are they in tune at all with matters such as these? No they are not. Do they care? No they do not. WHY?
