Thierry Jarnet set to retire.
Typical French jockey who did not travel abroad very well but had buckets of success on home turf.
Four Arc wins says it all.

Geraghty being kept in hospital overnight with internal injuries after kick in stomach

Got a cracked rib and partially collapsed lung but optimistic of riding at Cheltenham.

 

[Perpetual]

didn't know where to put his, but loved James Best on Pilgrims Bay at Kempton this afternoon and this is one of my favorite in running write ups from the Sporting Life...

Patiently ridden and held up last, hit 7th, steady headway 14th, tracking leaders on inside on bit before 3 out, 2nd 3 out, produced to lead at the last, kept on well and always doing enough run-in, wonderful ride

 

[Bonjers]

Superb ride and he was so pleased he managed to unseat himself after the line!

George Baker airlifted to a trauma hospital in a life threating condition following a three horse fall at St Moritz in which his horse died and in which he was trapped under the horse. A hole has been found in the ice under the covering of snow and the meeting has been abandoned.

Shame.

 

[jinnyj]

I thought he looked in a fair amount of pain - 6 ribs and a partially collapsed lung!

 

[Diamond Geezer]

George Baker out of induced coma, no breaks and a clear scan, looks like he's going to be alright.

 

[Kauto Abu]

Great news.

Bad luck for BG, but relief for GB. But can please someone tell me what the attraction is with letting horses race on ice! Crackers idea.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

It's actually 50cm of compressed snow on top of 50cm of ice and after Friday's meeting it was stated it was the best surface they had raced on for three or four years. A lot of our trainers send horses there, the one in the incident was one of Jamie Osborne's.

 

[Len Madeiros]

Thanks for that info, DG.

Poor fella, it sounds like he has a hard road ahead.
