JT McNamara who was injured and airlifted to Bristol hospital after a fall in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival has been confirmed as paralysed from the neck down and requires a breathing machine. :NoNo:

Footballer's roll around the floor when they trip on grass, and yet these jockeys are falling over 10ft at 30mph, and yet only get paid around £135 a ride.

What is really annoying is that if this had happened to a horse the animal rights morons would be up in arms :doh, and yet these horses are treated better than most other pets in the country.

The small bits of good news are that JT is talking and in a good frame of mind, and he will be well supported for the rest of his life by the injured jockey fund (http://www.injuredjockeys.co.uk/), family and friends. JP McManus the millionaire horse breeder and gambler will ensure JT has everything he needs.
