I saw him at Lingfield on Saturday evening, he was 78 on Sunday
Thanks mr c.
I can remember talking to him in the O&T lounge at Wolverhampton, just before they put the Tapeta down. Said he had offered the COC £20/ton for some of the old sand surface to relay his own gallops with. Obviously an enterprising gentleman and good to listen to as well.

Any falls take longer to get over with age.
Best wishes Bill

I cant believe he wis still riding Racehorses at that age its asking for trouble....I hope he gets well soon and stays out of the saddle.
He wasn't riding acey, a horse knocked him over and he hit his head.
If the average forumite had a clue about how unpredictable and dangerous horses are they might just take a backward step with unfounded and uneducated criticism of jockeys
He fractured his skull, a terrible injury especially at his age.
Fingers crossed for him he pulls through.

yes my thoughts go out to him he's a really nice guy who gives you his time at the race track.
thanks for asking how i am. I have a rare form of cancer called Myelofibrosis, unfortunately it's incurable.
But i will keep fighting until i cant. The doctors give me injections in my belly every two weeks to help with
my anaemia as i am high risk they tell me. i also take Momelotinib tablets every night.
luckily I don't have to pay for them as they're 20,000 a month, im winning betting but not that much LoL.
I honestly dont know how long i have left, the doctors don't know either. As i said i will keep fighting
until i cant. I'm hoping to go to Plumpton when it starts up again, fingers crossed.
Once again thanks for asking. T.D

Sad to read this hopefully things turn out as well as possible for mr turner and his family.
All the best Dave i hope you are around for a while longer.
Insurance policy cover poor Bill against injury (or worse, hopefully not) if he wasn't wearing a safety hat?
Here's hoping , have had 3 major concussions over the years from riding and it was only then that they discovered an old brain bleed from rugby as a kid . Racing and head injuries cant be treated too seriously .
Sadly passed away according to the rp, r.i.p bill turner
Terrible news, a lovely man to talk to at the races, rest in peace bill, you was one of the good ones that gave your time out to talk to me. R.I.P
good to hear from you trackie keep fighting punting and winning !
Has a runner in the Chepstow 3.00-Red Snapper.
Hope it wins for him.
Hope it wins for him.
Sad to hear the bad news...who knows, but for the accident he could have gone on for many more years.
He earned his stripes training a zebra and hope he gets a decent send-off when the time comes. R.I.P.

Never realised he was from Clun - not many are! My family used to own land there.
