    although you wouldn't know it judged by the number of posts asking about his well being on here.

    You bunch of ingrates.

    If you're going to spend your time watching horses I feel you should give some consideration to the men and women who make their living from riding the things.

    He's in a pretty serious condition apparently in intensive care. I very much hope he makes a full recovery.

    A life threatening fall according to ATR. Nice young lad. Hope he survives.

    Pray for Toomey Pilgrims

    Only just caught up on this. Thoughts and prayers are obviously with Brian and his family.

    thats tragic, hope the young man pulls through--a reminder that when we 'risk' our dough these people risk a whole lot more.

    Just another indication of what these jockeys do to earn a living. All be it, its something that they love doing, but the perils of the sport are plain to see here yet again...


    Lets hope for a full recovery, as soon as is possible...

    Best wishes to the young lad and his family. A cruel reminder of the dangers of being a jockey.

    This is very sad. Hopefully the latest news that he is stable will mean he has some chance of recovery. Dreadful...
