Early yesterday, after a dramatic trackwork fall at
Ballarat, trainer
Nigel Blackiston wasn’t sure if he was alive or dead.
Blackiston had been riding more work than usual because of a track rider shortage he and others have described as “diabolical.”
He’d cantered a lap of the inside sand on a particularly big horse, when the horse suddenly collapsed and died.
Blackiston remembers nothing of the fall, just the dream.
“All I remember is the horse went down and then I had these misty dreams, things like white roses and green fields. It was bizarre,” he said.
