Injured Jockey Slams Stewards for Failing to Halt Race Amidst Gruesome Injury
A veteran jockey has expressed outrage and disappointment after stewards failed to stop a race despite his severe injury, leaving him “drowning in his own blood” on the track.
The jockey, who wishes to remain anonymous, suffered a horrific fall during a recent meet, resulting in severe lacerations and internal bleeding. As he lay motionless on the ground, he claims that stewards ignored his pleas for help and allowed the race to continue.
“I was literally drowning in my own blood, and they just let the race keep going,” the jockey said in an interview. “It was like they didn’t care if I lived or died.”
The jockey’s harrowing account has sparked widespread outrage within the racing community, with many calling for greater accountability and safety measures to protect riders.
“How could they be so heartless?” said a fellow jockey. “We’re not just riders, we’re human beings. We deserve better.”
An investigation into the incident has been launched, and stewards have promised to take appropriate action. However, for the injured jockey, the damage has already been done.
I’ll never forget the feeling of being left for dead on that track,” he said. “It’s a betrayal that will haunt me forever.
