What terrible news.
Thoughts are with him and his family. Get well soon JT. x
Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Other sad news today is that Rebecca Julian has tweeted that her father Marten, journalist and author of the dark Horses books has been taken to hospital after feeling unwell. Let’s hope all is going to be ok there as well.
Echo all those thoughts. Finger crossed for JT…
Moe – also listened to the BBC coverage (as the kids were home) and they really captured the sombre, uneasy mood about the place.
Sounds like the BBC doing what it does best then, capturing the mood of the moment.
Very best wishes for a complete recovery, JT. Everyone’s thinking of you and wishing you the best.
We were at Cheltenham on Tuesday and noticed the good rapport between Andrew Thornton and John Inverdale; think AT will do very well with media work when he finally hangs up his boots. Paul; I’m sure you will but please pass on our thoughts and prayers to everyone at Cheltenham today.
Latest bulletin confirms a fracture of the C3 and C4 vertebra – it is possible he may be going into surgery later today.
Everyone’s thoughts are with him.
In terms of Davy Russell he is doing well and is expected to be released from hospital tomorrow.
Here is the latest official update at 11:45:
He is currently in theatre at Frenchay Hospital. There will be no further news until tomorrow & we will keep everyone updated.His wife Caroline is with him.”
My thoughts and prayers are with JT and his family and friends. I wish him the very,very best.
Issued jointly by Dr Adrian McGoldrick, Irish Turf Club Senior Medical Officer and Lisa Hancock, CEO, Injured Jockeys Fund on behalf of the McNamara Family.My wife spent three weeks in an induced coma in 1999 due to severe viral pneumonia that meant 90% of her lungs were not functioning. Doctors at the time told me this was done to give the body the best chance to heal itself. Luckily she became well enough to be wakened up and then embarked on a long road back to something like full health. Hopefully the same will happen to J T Mcnamara and he makes as full a recovery as possible.
Just as an aside, my wife had some very strange dreams when in the induced coma. One was George Clooney trying to burn down our house and another was about having triplets in Japan. The first thing she asked me when she was able to talk again was how many kids we had!!
Good luck JT.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

A brilliant, moving article
No surprise, but JT has been paralysed after his Festival fall.
He is reported to be very positive. Best wishes, JT.
