doesn't say. Forristal article. Well done him. he includes Bevis whom he rode for. Shocking business both of them.
thank you Tiger. I am afraid my IT skills don't stretch to that. Much appreciated.
surely he cant be in such a position he needs financial help?
quite incredible that if you google his name there isnt a health update since November.
one suspects that unless you are Schumacher rich, you would always need £ if the position is as everyone fears Rico. New house. Carers full time. No income. Etc etc
Have a look at the IJF last set of accounts.
Assets about 57 million

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

that he will need..
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.
