Jockeys body trying since Freddy Tylicki case at end of 2021 to get personal liability cover
The Irish Jockeys Association has described the Tylicki incident as a potential “game changer” in terms of how racing’s interference rules are implemented.
He also said the matter continues to be an “industry issue” that must include both Horse Racing Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board in terms of financing any cover for jockeys. “But essentially, the background work is to try and see what cover we need, and how we can get it, and what markets are available to provide that. It all remains very much outstanding,” he added.
He said: “Nothing I have seen has changed my thinking on that. Its still, in my view, a very important issue that has not yet been resolved.” The Willie Mullins-trained horse threw away his chance of Cheltenham Festival glory last March when despite persistently jumping right he only failed by a short head to Brazil.
