any update on jp.....

It was shocking fall, hopefully he is ok.
I thought at first the horse had broken a leg but he got up and seemed fine afterwards.
Watched the reply and it looked as if he hit a patch of false ground and fell into it and crumbled.
Very strange incident!

i hate to see jockeys remain motionless after a fall ......i know lots on here dont rate the guy , if i'm honest i'd include myself in that ...but life is life ...so i hope he's fine....thanks for the reply....
