https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/jockey-oisin-murphy-car-crash-35134649 Four-time champion jockey Oisin Murphy at centre of car crash riddle Oisin Murphy, the four-time champion flat jockey, was back riding at Windsor on Monday, having missed out on rides at Southwell on Sunday due to 'travel issues', with his agent confirming he's been involved in a car crash Mystery surrounds the circumstances of a car accident involving four-time champion flat jockey Oisin Murphy. It is understood to have happened hours after the 29-year-old was riding at Leicester Racecourse on Saturday. Murphy rode a 33-1 treble from the horses he partnered for six different trainers during the seven-race afternoon fixture. But the sport's leading rider missed out on four opportunities at Southwell on Sunday due to 'travel issues,' as stated by the British Horseracing Authority's stewards' report. Murphy, who took three titles between 2019-2021 and last year's, went to Windsor's circuit on Monday where he was first on 13-8 favourite Sea Founder in the British Stallion Studs EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes over a mile before following up on Derby hope Tycoon for John and Thady Gosden. Before the first race at 4.25pm, his agent Gavin Horne said: "All I know is Oisin had a car accident and that is it. He is fine and racing tonight." Murphy was unavailable for comment. Rest omitted -- just random horsey facts. |

i think that's what you call 'straight-batting' Ramruna...
'travel issues' ffs. |
|
By:
For someone who is very good at taking the P out of the authorities isn't it funny how he never seems able to provide any of his own.

best bladder in Lambourn swifty.

Not sure what Derby they are thinking about for Tycoon, but I have a feeling it won't be the Epsom one. Had the run of things and wasn't at all impressive in beating rubbish.

As people on here often tell us he's owned by the ABBA bloke(!) so probably the Swedish version.
|

By:
Bjorn Nielsen is not ABBA, he was born in South Africa.

Unhappyhibby and Aceform seem to have a similarity ffs

The plastic tumbler could have been glass which shatters on impact……dreadful scenes tbh….

I would also add any person who gives a positive reading and sample should serve a lifetime ban, the bus,train,lift who cares……
Drink,drugs or any other kind of dirt….ban them for life. |

industry paper doesn't like/want bad news stories geoff...
they want us to think everyone in racing is a wonderful human being... laughable tbh. |
|
By:
If so, his retainer with the once patron at Balding's stable will be untenable. He'll be toxic for horseracing.
|

By:
Geoff makes the pertinent point. Cheerleading stories only. You have to come to the Betfair Forum for any other news. The racing media is complete joke.
|
|
By:
The Racing Post is managed and supported by "invertebrates" without principles to safeguard their paypackets always. Has any of their journos been nominated or won Journalist for Horseracing? I believe a Mr Richard Baerlin and Mr Brough Scott did a few decades ago.

Not sure what you want the RP to say, he or she cannot be named for legal reasons, there the story ends, for now.

oh btw...
Emma Smith Chaston is a new telly pundit we should all be looking out for... thank you Racing Post... we'd all be lost without you. |

By:
the Daily Mirror seems to disagree with you GC.

Must have lifted the naming restrictions now, earlier they were saying he couldn't be named.? Why someone in his position never had a full time chauffeur is beyond me.

Thought he did have a driver.

An event happened in their "field of expertise" and they copped out not naming the individual. Just be clear to name or identify an individual is not the same as to apportion blame (for those at the Racing Post).
The Racing Post is not fit for purpose! |
|
By:
change 'Post' for the word 'media' imv impossible.
|
|
By:
far too many folk (in fact the vast vast majority) who will never (or very rarely) say ANYTHING negative about individuals within the sport...
no doubt for self-preservation purposes... you just cannot take the sport seriously when that is the scenario imv. |

Mr Chamberlin, the face of ITV Racing, says it all!

He has a driver and the car he comes to the races in is not an A class Merc. Maybe it was the girl's car or he owns a second one.
Interesting to see what the BHA do. A few years ago Simon Dow was arrested, the BHA withdrew his licence immediately but never made it public. Jim Boyle trained most of the horses. After maybe 9 months the police decided not to charge him as he was totally innocent of the allegations. The BHA restored his licence Will they suspend this jockey's licence pending a decision by the police whether to charge? |
|
By:
BHA aren't too keen on bad new stories either mrc...
so my guess is they will suck their teeth / scratch their ar$es / have a dozen meetings about it and then do nowt. |
|
By:
bad news stories.
|
|
By:
Any news on the female ? or is this just about the risen ?

By:
it's always only about the celeb stars aceform.

By:
Disgusting…..big weekend approaching watch this space….
Bell,Chapman and squeaky Weaver…..” hey come on we all have issues “ I can hear it tbh… |
|
By:
we all need to put our arms around the celeb superstar aceform...
give him a big hug... that will be THEIR take on it... it's the society we live in these days unfortunately. |
|
By:
Vomit inducing hibb tbh….
He’s on borrowed time imv…..plod won’t let it go…. |
|
By:
i wouldn't hold your breath on that one aceform...
who knows what has happened but i'm sure there will be a few sleepless nights coming up. |
|
By:
No doubt they’ll all stand with him…
The normal thing would be get on with it you fool……learn the hard way… |
|
By:
Time to get that mental health card out and the Media/BHA/Sport rally around him
