    JT McNamara Confirmed As Paralysed

    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.

    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 , 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, family and friends. JP McManus the millionaire horse breeder and gambler will ensure JT has everything he needs.
