Pity that. He was a decent jockey and a sound helpful guy to friends of mine.
Hope he finds his niche.
So sorry to hear that. A hugely talented horseman and a real gentleman. Somehow never reaped the rewards that his talents deserved. Best wishes to him whichever direction he now chooses to follow.
A good jockey, the best of luck to him.
