Former jockey, Paul Goode, now wheelchair bound and living in Yorkshire, is suing a fellow rider for $5 million, resulting from a fall at Queanbeyan, in New South Wales, in 2009.

Goode suffered catastrophic injuries that have left him confined to a wheelchair, robbing him of his career and quality of life.

While the Sydney jockey denies liability, he will be giving evidence in an Australian court; the case has been transferred to the Royal Courts of Justice in London, due to Goode’s situation.

Goode’s mount, Shot Of The Rails, careered through the fence, crashing onto the cinder track, causing severe injuries to the plaintiff.

Orphan Foal A Winner

There was a touch of sadness associated with the win of Last Typhoon; he won earlier last week at Bairnsdale, just a mid week Maiden at his fifth start in a race.

The first and only foal from his mother, Typhoon Tracy, died soon after giving birth to her foal by Street Cry.

Losing any mare is a sad event, in the case of Typhoon Tracy it was catastrophic, mares of her quality and breeding potential are just so rare, they seldom only come once in a lifetime.

Her dam, Tracy’s Element, by Last Tycoon, was a Group I winning mare in South Africa, where she won 11 races, produced 12 foals, 10 raced for nine winners.

Typhoon Tracy had a great race record; she emulated her dam winning 11 races, of which six races were at Group 1 level.

The Hutchins family that raced Typhoon Tracy have retained a full sister, Kylikwong and two half sisters, Chateau Margaux and Tracy’s Choice, both by Redoute’s Choice .
