Champion jockey Tommy Berry has backed a call for stricter guidelines on apprentices progressing to city racing.
Tommy Berry has backed a call from a fellow group 1-winning jockey for stricter guidelines on apprentices progressing to city level but holds no ill feelings towards the young rider involved in the fall that led to his broken neck last Saturday.
Berry was first told he could be sidelined for four months but is now eyeing a return for the Silver Slipper meeting on February 22 after seeing specialist Dr Andrew Cree. After the incident, a post on X from group 1-winning jockey Christian Reith, who broke his back in a fall, sparked debate. He later clarified the post was “about the education and training system that is obviously failing these kids”.
