Kerrin McEvoy wants to get back to winning ways on the track where he was injured in a fall on Golden Slipper day.
Champion jockey Kerrin McEvoy is back doing what he loves two months after fracturing his neck in a fall on Golden Slipper day.
“I couldn’t do much there for a while, and it was a little frustrating watching because I love riding,” McEvoy said. “I have taken my time to make sure I’m ready and, coming back at this time of year, I can build up towards the spring. “Any time you have a fall, you realise how lucky you are to be riding and active,” McEvoy said. “The hardest thing in recovering is the rest to let your body mend.
Trainer Annabel Neasham has opted to take off the blinkers Sibaaq has worn for the past year for the step up to 2000m.“I’ve spoken to Annabel and she thinks taking the blinkers off might just get him to relax a bit and get him to come back in his races, which would help at 2000m,” McEvoy said. “He has a good record without winning too often, so the blinkers off might do the trick with him.”
