Yes, he certainly is a fighter! He surprises the nurses by his determination. The hospital will release him shortly but I’ll need a chain and padlock to keep him quiet at home. Have already been in touch with Oaksey House in Lambourn – the wonderful Injured Jockeys Fund Rehab centre. They sound brilliant and most helpful. He had to do a sentence for his attractive female speech therapist yesterday and he said “I’d like to take you home”. Not lost his sense of humour! Thanks for all your WONDERFUL messages – I’ve read them out to him. He is so touched – what an amazing fanclub he has.

Great to hear that Terry is on the road to recovery. Very sad that Josh is still in a critical condition. My thoughts are with him and his family.

Agreed . There is so much selfishness and ridiculous bias on this forum that its lovely to read a thread such as this , albeit very sad and poignant . Terry is a gentleman in both definitions of the word and a sense of humour helps everyone , not least Terry himself. Its important to remember the greats who have graced this sport . In the case of Josh Gifford , a very good trainer but an even better jockey . God bless them both .

Fight against the dying of the light ! --------------------------------- I fail to see the sense of humour in Terry's sentence. He was probably being serious ! Sorry Hen ! Good luck both ! |
