A young picnic jockey Reece Potter 23, has passed away from injuries sustained riding on Saturday at the Tottenham Picnic Races.
His mount Half Handy broke its pelvis sending Potter crashing to the turf and suffering severe head injuries.
His family had to make the heartbreaking decision to turn off his life support after the Royal Prince Alfred doctors performed extensive tests.
To his mother Vikki and his extended family and friends, my heartfelt condolences go out to you.
It shows the dangers of the “Sport of Kings” and how much we need to admire the jockeys that ride these amazing thoroughbreds we love to watch, day in and day out.
