Members of the horse racing community have been left devastated by the tragic death of the former jockey
Former Grand National jockey Michael Byrne has died aged 36. Members of the horse racing community have been left devastated by his tragic death, with tributes flooding in.
In 2010, Byrne was in Aintree's winners' enclosure after the Listed mares' bumper, when Bowen-trained Big Time Billy caused an upset at 28-1. It rounded off a special day for the handler, as Always Waining galloped to his first Topham Chase title, a race he made his own in subsequent years. The following month, Byrne was victorious up in Liverpool with 2005 Cheltenham Gold Cup second Take The Stand, just nine days after the pair's triumph on hunter chase night at Prestbury Park. Buck Magic provided another career milestone there, securing a conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at the 2021 November Meeting.Racehorse trainer Neil Mulholland said: "Michael will be sadly missed, he was a lovely fella and used to ride out here.
