Timmy Murphy took the day off today after a fall yesterday at Market Rasen left him battered and bruised, but our jockeys just accept it as part of the job, and all for about £150 a ride

Gemma Tutty, a conditional jockey was taken to hospital on Tuesday following a terrible fall from Saddlers Mot, she has crushed vertebra. Luckily she'll make a full recovery in time, but it could have been so much worse, and a number of jockeys over the years have paid the ultimate price.

With the Festival this weeks, lets hope all jockeys and horses make it back home safely.
