Jockey Dalgleish launches jump career

Keith Dalgleish returned to Lingfield yesterday to launch a new career as a jump jockey at the same course where he had his first ride as a Flat apprentice.

The 21-year-old, who had to curtail his Flat career because of weight problems, looked as fit as a fiddle before going out to partner Hopeful Mission in the closing Hblb Coloroll “Junior” Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race at Surrey circuit.
