    Jockey Caitlin Forrest,19, became the 3rd jockey to die around the globe this week after sustaining fatal injuries at Murray Bridge racecourse, near Adelaide, this morning. Carly-Mae Pye, 26, in Australia and Juan Saez, 17, in USA both were fatally injured on Tuesday. Incredibly tragic to hear of so many young lives ending so suddenly and in such a short space of time. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the deceased jockeys.RIP.

    We give out about certain jockeys every day of the week but at the end of the day they are putting themselves at risk every time they step on a horse.

    Well said, jockeys are an amazingly tough breed of people without whom this great sport couldnt happen. My heart goes out to their families and loved ones
