Thomas Doyle had to be given a haircut by paramedics after he was badly injured in a racing fall in the process losing his curly flame-haired mullet
A jockey has lost the one item which helps him stand out from every other rider - his famous red mullet.
But his signature look is no more after it had to be sacrificed after he was involved in a heavy fall. He was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a severe concussion and two minor brain bleeds for which he had to be given a haircut during treatment. "Part of it was something to do with the neck brace and the stretcher and then another part was to do with the head scans, they needed some of the hair gone. It's not something I'm too worried about at the moment."
