Trainer Alastair Ralph confirmed that Treadwell was found dead this morning.
Ralph told The Sun: “We found him this morning, it’s all still very raw. It’s just terrible, he had suffered depression and it was on going for a couple of years.” After a nasty fall at Bangor in 2016 - where he was unconscious for four minutes - he hung up the saddle in 2018 after a series of head injuries and personal problems. But Treadwell returned to race-riding and has been riding mainly for trainer Alastair Ralph in recent times. He managed ten winners last season and rode at this year's Cheltenham Festival. His last race was at Hereford on March 16. |

The British Horseracing Authority’s chief executive Nick Rust also paid tribute, saying in a statement: “We are devastated to hear the tragic news about Liam Treadwell.
“Liam had a fine career in British racing, riding over 300 winners in the 17 years that he held a jockeys’ licence, obviously none more memorable than his remarkable 100-1 Grand National success on Mon Mome in 2009 – a ride that cemented his place in racing folklore. “Liam will forever be remembered for winning the Grand National in 2009 on the 100-1 shot Mon Mome, trained by Venetia Williams. He was a gifted horseman, valued by racehorse trainers for both this and his communication skills. “He was polite, funny, kind and brave, having spoken passionately and eloquently about his mental health issues both in the press but also in our own ‘Jockey Matters’ films. It is devastating that this has happened, and our thoughts and prayers are with Liam’s family, friends and everyone who knew and supported him.” |
