    Update on injured jockey Brian Toomey: Out of a coma, continues to make progress. Can move all four limbs and no longer needs respirator, although his breathing is being assisted by a tracheotomy.

    Case against him has been dropped. The stewards came to the conclusion because Cartmel run-in is like no other, in the sense it's round two bends and is longer than the Sussex Stakes ;o) they decided not to count two of the strikes after the last as they were delivered only to keep the horse in contention.

    Fair comment and good to see the stewards using their discretion

    From RP

    BRIAN TOOMEY is continuing to show positive signs of recovery from the fall that left him with serious head injuries and over the weekend he was moved to the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
    Toomey, whose condition has recently improved significantly, left Ninewells Hospital in Dundee where he had been treated since July 4 on Saturday, and has quickly settled into his new surroundings where he is soon expected to commence a rehabilitation programme.
    Toomey was placed in an induced coma after undergoing surgery to his brain in the aftermath of his fall at Perth since when his girlfriend Amy Ryan, last year's champion apprentice, has virtually put her career on hold, having had only one ride in almost six weeks. Ryan took a bad fall herself from Bogart at York on July 27, but while being fit to ride she has chosen not to.
    The move to Middlesborough, where Toomey was on Monday visited by hi s parents and sister, will curtail the travelling for the 24-year-old's many friends within the racing community in North Yorkshire where he is attached to the stable of Amy's father, Hambleton trainer Kevin Ryan.
    Ryan reported: "Brian is doing great and is well on the way to recovery, and he hasn't lost his sense of humour that's for sure, but it was a very worrying time.
    "Thank God he's going to be fine. He's talking and has full movement, but he's been through a lot. He's lost a lot of weight and it will take a while yet for him to fully recover, but he's well on the way. I don't know whether he will ever be able to ride again."
    Ryan added: "He's much closer to us now so all his friends can go to see him, some of them have already been to Dundee. There's no date set yet for him leaving hospital."
    Toomey's close friend and fellow jockey, Brian Hughes, commented: "Brian was moved from Dundee on Saturday and I saw him twice over the weekend and he's in good form. He's walking and talking and he's doing everything normally.

    Where does Ted jr fit in all this ?
    N Meade misses Gillian O Brien badly in the stable. Nina might be the ticket for better times hopefully.

    You're wondering if the job spec for this job at the Meade stable mean she has to move in with him?
