Winning Post - Letter Of The Week Archive

Thank you, Matt Stewart and Winning Post, for the article (17/2) re Jason Maskiell and others.
It is a sobering yet important reminder of the sometimes vulnerable existence of our jockey fraternity and the stressful lives they can live.
Their physical and mental wellbeing is critical to horse racing operating at the safest level it can.
I regard them as fine athletes. They make mistakes. Things go wrong.
However, they exhibit courage and take risks every day to provide us with tremendous entertainment.
Stewart seeks out the human side of racing. Keep it up.
