    Cheltenham 2013: Robert Thornton set to miss Festival and rest of season
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/21683687

    The 34-year-old, nicknamed 'Choc', said on Twitter: "Few tests yesterday, not great news looks like I'll be missing the rest of the season."
    Thornton suffered a fall when riding Our Phylli Vera for his boss, trainer Alan King, at Southwell on Monday.

    “I never realised that to become a jockey you needed to be a horse first.” Arrigo Sacchi, football coach.

    Bad news for Choc but great news for Steve Drowne as he rides to day following a year out due to black outs.

    Choc is not the jock he was around 3-4 years ago! I think it's nice to see Wayne Hutchison get his chance now!

    Good to have Steve Drowne back too tho I doubt he'll be getting his job back with Roger Charlton.
