Brave Matt turns the corner

HAVING an ambulance trail you in the course of an ordinary day’s work would, it’s fair to say, be something of a distraction to most of us.

That’s if you’re an ordinary mortal. Having paramedics in your slipstream is a fact of life for a jump jockey.

They’ve got to get on with the job at hand regardless: letting their minds drift away to consider the significance of having trained medical professionals a few seconds behind them could be... a distraction.
