At The Races – Paralysed jump jockey with an Olympic dream!

Video from At The Races: Paralysed jump jockey with an Olympic dream!. Just over a year since a career-ending fall left former jockey Jacob Pritchard Webb paralysed from the waist down, the 24-year-old is heading to Sheffield next month for the start of what he hopes is a magical journey to the Paralympics.

Pritchard Webb was an aspiring British jump jockey who like many relocated to France in search of winners.

He attached himself to the yard of leading French trainer Emmanuel Clayeux but a heavy fall on Bert Lefevre’s Galant Des Boulats changed everything.

Recalling the accident, which occurred during the opening chase at Auteuil on June 23, 2020, Pritchard Webb told Sky Sports Racing: “I remember everything. As I was rolling I lost the feeling from the waist down immediately.

“The pain in my back felt like someone was poking something directly into T4, which is the vertebrae that was badly broken. It was like they were pushing my chest outwards.

“You get what’s called a phantom sensation and my brain was telling me my legs were in the air. I’ve watched the fall back and actually I’m star-fished on the ground.”

Having spent 178 days in hospital in France, Pritchard Webb returned to the UK to continue his recovery at Oaksey House, the flagship rehabilitation centre of the Injured Jockeys Fund.

Table tennis – a pastime which started in France and has continued at rehab in Lambourn – has now turned into a real passion for Pritchard Webb.

He joined a club near his home in Leicester and is already signed up to Team GB’s future stars programme, where he will compete against the nation’s hottest prospects in July.

“I wanted to compete still,” Pritchard Webb said. “There’s still that drive there.

“It’s a long road but they say there’s potential. They say: ‘Don’t be looking at Paris [Paralympics in 2024] but definitely be looking at all the major Games afterwards.

“It’s something to get you out of bed in the morning.”

Despite being unable to reach the very top ranks of jump racing, Pritchard Webb’s life as a jockey is what he is most proud of.

“A lot of people say: ‘You’re inspirational’,” he said. “I don’t believe that. I have to do this.

“Maybe I don’t have to be as busy but that’s helped me and my mental state even more.

“I’ve gone through a variety of emotions. I’ve been through it all, a lot of bad days.

“I joke now when they say: ‘You’re incredibly positive’, it’s because I was so miserable for. There was only one way it could go.

“What I achieved riding is more inspirational. There were so many down days, so many closed doors, so many missed opportunities but I didn’t give up.

“To move to another country, learn another language and another style of riding and then to actually get somewhere that I feel is more of an achievement.”

At The Races – "Four days is plenty" – Paul Nicholls reacts to idea of five-day Cheltenham…

Video from At The Races: “Four days is plenty” – Paul Nicholls reacts to idea of five-day Cheltenham Festival. Plans to extend the Cheltenham Festival are back under consideration, although the Jockey Club has ruled out any immediate change to the current format.

The fixture currently spans four days in March and is one of the most anticipated features of the National Hunt calendar, culminating with the revered Cheltenham Gold Cup on the final day of racing.

The suggestion that a fifth day of action was due to be scheduled was first raised in January 2020, when racecourse chairman Martin St Quinton said that he “wouldn’t rule anything out” with regards to extending the meeting.

The idea is now being discussed once again after The Daily Telegraph reported the Jockey Club is intending to host a five-day Festival in 2023, with each day trimmed to a six-race card and therefore only two further contests required to fill the extra day.

There have been no developments on the matter and while a five-day meeting has not been expressly rejected, there are no immediate intentions to extend the fixture.

“It is always interesting to listen to the debate around a fifth day and the last time this was discussed in earnest in public some key stakeholders in our sport expressed their desire for a fifth day,” a statement from a Jockey Club spokesperson read.

“We will always explore every option to improve the Festival and support British racing, but we have made no decision to extend the length of the Festival.”
