mileni4uk Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Re: The Ups & Downs Of Jump Racing I think he was already jocked off to be fair. It was announced before racing today. Very unlucky for Willie. Jumping on firm ground might get banned sooner rather than later with so many injuries lately :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayalexander Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Who'd want to be a jump jockey? Not me, that's for sure! Must be the most accident prone sport there is and it's not even a contact sport! Latest casualty, 16 year old Willy Twiston-Davies, with a broken leg. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
