Nasty incident at Nicky Henderson's yesterday when James Bowen was knocked unconscious in a fall and swallowed his tongue. Luckily for him AP McCoy was nearby and was able to get his fingers down the lad's throat and hook it back out. Bowen collected by his mother later in the day and now resting up at home.

Oh jeez well big well done to AP McCoy that sounds nasty.

Well done AP your not just a pretty face.

Special thanks at Xmas to you DG for always keeping us informed

I would have thought that stable staff were trained in basic first aid?

Henderson quoted as saying McCoy got there first. Luckily, they were standing right by where they fell.

Looks like Sheehan may have rode himself off the Brooks horses with Nicholls.

Does anybody know why Jonathon Moore is not riding for Gavin Cromwell these days?

He lost his bottle and wasn't good enough. If you'd like a deeper story you have my number.

I see Darragh O'Keefe riding the Mullins horse in the Lawlor's Hotel hurdle. Does he have some sort of arrangement for the Mulryans?

I think so, he’s also jocked up on their other runners as well.

According to Gary O'Brien on RacingTV a few seconds ago, yes.

Thanks

DOK sits very low in the saddle and sits far more motionless than his contemporaries

Not bad owners for him to be in with

And he should serve every minute of it too.

Jerry Mcgrath has lost his battle to return since injury twelve months or so ago.

The BHA has raised the minimum weight for jockeys, following the permanent removal of saunas from weighing room. The minimum Flat weight will now be 8st 2lbs and minimum Jump weight set at 10st 2lbs

 

[Beef or Salmon]

Not sure that solves anything to be honest, wasn't the temporary allowance 3lbs as well, where has the other pound gone!

He's retained by the Mulryans and also has a nice link up with DeBromhead and Cromwell. A jockey going places.

I'm presuming Davy Russell is feeling the effects of yesterday's fall but is Jack Kennedy suspended? I see some unusual jockey bookings for Elliott over the weekend.

Ouch on the ban. How far has that been backdated?

 

[viking]

Back to December so he’s free to ride from February next year

Still an ouch.

 

[Beef or Salmon]

I wouldn't imagine he is too bothered probably relieved if anything, needed a break away from it all.
