I have not seen it but it must have been a very bad fall. I hope he is OK.
I see RTV aren’t offering the race replay, while Sporting Life zoom away from the incident at the last.
Two of the leaders fell, and brought down two immediately behind them. Another horse, further back, also fell. The falls were independent and O’Sullivan was obviously injured directly by his fall or was caught up in the ensuing melee.
My thoughts are with the rider and his family.
Sounds like an horrendous incident, thoughts and prayers with him and his family and friends.
I haven’t seen it either, just hoping for a full recovery. My thoughts are also with him and his family.
Missing Cheltenham becomes completely irrelevant right now.The latest update seems to confirm he is in a critical condition. Fingers crossed he pulls through.
It was indeed a horrible fall. He was ejected from the saddle and landed head/neck first into the turf and then, to compound that, his mount crashed down on top of him.
Let’s hope he is not left with any lasting injuries, but it didn’t look good.
....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.
Remains in intensive care according to the RP. All the best wishes and hopefully he’ll recover somehow.
IHRB reporting today there is no change in his condition and he remains in intensive care. Poor lad. All my best wishes to him and his family, but this really isn’t sounding good.
Echoing all the best wishes previously posted 1000% – the fact that they only refer to it as his ‘condition’ makes me think this is sadly going to be a monumentally life changing incident………..but I am desperately hoping to be proven so utterly wrong in my thinking.
I saw a RIP Michael O’Sullivan thread on the BF forum and feared the worst. How disgusting…..
Have to agree with LD thinking about a life changing incident. Hope to be wrong, though.Very very worrying that he’s still the same after more than a week. Thoughts to the family and like the rest of you hoping my fears prove unfounded.
Haven’t really got the words at times like this.
Hoping for the best for Michael.Value Is EverythingCheltenham Festival-winning jockey Michael O’Sullivan has tragically died as a result of the head injuries he sustained in a last-fence fall at Thurles on February 8.
His death in the early hours on Sunday came just five days shy of his 25th birthday next Friday.
RIP
