21-year-old promising lady amateur jockey has suffered a life-changing spinal cord injury due to a freak accident on the gallops. Kaitlyn is currently receiving treatment for her injury and will be for the foreseeable future. Kaitlyn will need to make many lifestyle changes to adapt to her new life to ensure her independence. Kaitlyn’s future is unknown and she faces a long journey ahead. We want to help Kaitlyn and her family through this challenging time. bit.ly/KaitlynGFM

History! We found out the hard way how good @OsborneSaffie was when she kept beating us in the Racing League. Today wasn’t just huge for her, it was huge for the sport. She’s a star and so is Highwayman. A fair training performance from @JosephOBrien2 too!! What a game. 🙌
