Is that that McNamara lad from Cheltenham?

Sad indeed mate. He was only an amateur too, wasn't he? Hope he's got something to support him.

Gutted about this, really hits home how fragile the human body is too. Hope he recovers but sadly doesn't look likely.

Sad yes, but what about the horses that go through this all the time? A vile sport. He chose to do the sport, the horses did not.

If the horses hate it then why do they get up and carry on running after the jockey falls off?

I can't work out if this is a serious question or not.

JT didn't ride for some cowboy outfit. He was a top lad.

Animal welfare is superb in racing.

Horses will die next week however, but if its in a hurdle race, no one will notice, if its in the 4.05.. They will.

People like you appal me, JT's life was racing and horses and now it's been taken away from him. I bet he has cared for and had a greater connection and understanding with horses that you will never come within a iota of having.
