Promising young jockeys die in house blaze
Dubliner Ian Brennan, 20, whose close friend, Jamie Kyne 18, from Co Galway, perished in a suspected arson attack, rode at Thirsk racecourse in Yorkshire hours after the tragedy that also claimed the life of Scottish jockey 19-year-old Jan Wilson.
Mr Brennan, from Donaghmede, and a fourth jockey, Dean Pratt, from Co Waterford, both jumped to safety from a third storey window of an apartment block in Norton, near Malton, North Yorkshire, in the early hours of Saturday.
