After numerous falls and injuries, jockey Oneil Mullings with his never-say-die attitude continues to do what he loves best–ride racehorses.
On August 16, 2014, Mullings was among four jockeys involved in a spill during the day’s last race. Mullings and apprentice O’Brien White were both taken to hospital by Caymanas Park emergency personnel for treatment. Mullings was diagnosed with a broken right leg, the same leg which he had broken before, while White was treated and released. The other jockeys involved in the spill, Aaron Chatrie and Delroy Beharie were both sent home after receiving treatment. Mullings, who is still on the racetrack exercising horses in the mornings, returned to competitive race riding on Saturday when he partnered the Andrew McDonald-trained Albebaran, who finished third in the last race.
THE ‘WASP’ RETURNS
Longtime jockey Barrington ‘Wasp’ Harvey returns to the saddle tomorrow. Harvey, who mainly rides in the United States at the Golden Gate racetrack in California, is listed to ride Jarreau and Golden Opportunity.
