After hearing yesterday the sad news that Sir Alex Ferguson's race Horse, Hermes Allen suffered a fatal fall yesterday, today I've heard that a 25 year old Jockey sadly died after falling from his horse in a point to point race. Tragically both the horse and jockey were racing for Paul Nicholls 😔😥
Condolences to all concerned 😥

Heartbreaking news. :(
It is always very sad when fatal accidents happen in racing. It always makes me grateful that after too many years and many serious injuries I walked away from it. Some don't.
Sympathies go to the families and connections of both horse and jockey.
Greetings from the land down under. :D
