It`s tough being a Jockey
10 years 7 months ago
Most have us have moaned about badly timed rides etc but spare a thought for the jocks
I posted this video the other day but it`s worth taing a look at this again,you Carstens is lucky he came out of this reasonably ok..
Recently we have had the broken bones of Delpech,Marcus and Neethling
Surgery for Shea and a host of others
Our Friend Chippy was recently off work for nearly 3 months with a bad back,worked his socks off to get back starved himself over christmas etc etc to only feel the back injury again after just 20 rides

That's sad...especially as he has been riding quite well and bringing in some good long priced rides...

Back injury
Imo not a good sign to be suffering so young
