Stefano Cherchi RIP
Hi all,
It was truly heartbreaking to learn of the passing of jockey Stefano Cherchi, just two weeks after suffering a fall while riding in Australia. This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the immense risks that jockeys face every time they mount a horse. It's a sobering reality that deserves recognition, especially when considering the abuse that jockeys sometimes endure, whether on social media or at the track.
In moments like these, when a young life is lost at the age of 23, it puts into perspective the triviality of my offering in today’s column.
Stefano’s death serves as a poignant reminder to cherish each moment and to extend compassion and respect to those who put their lives on the line for the sport we love.
