all jockeys must have to have insurance so why do they need funds from the public when injuries kick in
|

By:
The owners pay for jockey's insurance
PRIS (Professional Riders Insurance Scheme) is funded by owners via a surcharge on the riding fee. It pays a weekly benefit for work related accidents whilst a jockey is unable to race-ride and is designed to compensate for lost riding fees. |

Jockey Graham Lee has been paralysed from the neck down having fractured his spine after falling off his horse in November.
The 48-year-old Grand National winner suffered the life-changing injuries during the fall at Newcastle Racecourse last year after being unseated from his mount Ben Marduk as the stalls opened for a sprint handicap. |

Wow, I had no idea. Absolutely devastating for him and his family to go through. His life is going to be extremely difficult from now on.
I hope some of the sad tw@ts on here who are lambasting jockeys when they lose a race think of Graham and Stefano the next time they’re about to launch an attack. |
