    CONDITIONAL jockey Joe Colliver has been jailed for lying about a drunken car crash and paying a friend £2,500 to take the blame and save his promising career.

    Colliver - who rides out of Micky Hammond's yard at Middleham, North Yorkshire, and partnered 26 winners last season - was told by a judge: "This was seriously criminal."

    The 25-year-old rider would probably have received only a fine and driving ban if he had admitted being behind the wheel of the truck involved.

    Instead, he was jailed for ten months and has put his career on hold - if not at serious risk - for hatching the plan with his associate Lewis Purdie.
    What goes through the brains of young jockeys, I do not know.
