    Looks like his injury was pretty serious.

    All the best for a speedy recovery Mick and please retire now.

    Yes – sadly this looks like the end of the road for Mick – let’s just hope he makes a full recovery from this horrible injury.

    God help him- he won’t be allowed ride again, even if he wanted to. Lets hope he’s not left with any significant restriction in normal activity. He’ll have a good media career to look forward to anyway- no shortage of opinion from our Mick!

    If anyone’s reading this who knows him, pass on our best wishes. One of the best, it’ll be sad if we’ve seen the last of him on a race course.

    Good luck to him!

    Micko will be a top trainer or trainer’s assistant, imo.

    He does a lot of work behind the scenes. A dedicated guy.

    This broken neck is bad news.

    Get well soon Mick.

    Sadly looks as though we’ve seen the last of him in a race, due to the severity of the injury and the fact that he has two young children to think about now. He’ll make a great pundit, but the romantic/selfish part of me would love to see him go out on one last winner.

    Yes, I would have like that too, Friggo. I like the guy and I like his stable (NH).

    No place for sentimentality in this game though, I suppose.

    He’s come back from some terrible knocks before, but this one looks bad.
