RIP Lorna

I watched the fall on TV at the time and it looked bad but with jockeys being so tough, you just expect them to get up and be ready for the next race.

Really brings the danger into perspective and why being a jockey is one of the few jobs in the world where you get followed by an ambulance every time.
