    Tragic indeed. I think it's easy to forget how dangerous a game horse racing can be. I seem to remember that something like one in every eight times a jockey races, he falls. So that's about one a day if doing a full card. Brave men and women really.

    Seen this on the RP website earlier, very tragic indeed and serves as a little reminder to all those who come on here calling jockeys all sorts, they really do put their lives on the line every time they go to work, RIP

    Very sad indeed. Never had the pleasure of meeting the young man, but I know he rode harness horses ('trotters') in West Cork as a young lad and his talent was obvious even then.

    Shocking, the lad should still be alive today. If you end up in hospital, you're life is in the lap of some smug Ahole surgeon/doctor who are more than likely full of themselves, and will have juniors and nurses terrified of them. I've seen this in parts of Ireland and the USA. The doctors are no better over there /USA I can assure you of that. Having said that, if I have any illness that I need hospital treatment I will be in Dublin for it. I've had experiences of Galway and Limerick and if you value your like don't go there. Naas is beautifully designed, but again if you want the proper treatment, go elsewhere. i don't want to de-rail this thread. RIP kid.
