A prominent jockey from the Flat season has been hospitalized due to a neck injury sustained during a motorcycle accident. Clifford Lee, a 29-year-old stable jockey for Karl Burke, has had a successful season with 94 wins, including his first Group 1 victory. Unfortunately, his pursuit of reaching 100 wins for the first time has been interrupted by the accident during his holiday.
Burke confirmed the incident, mentioning that Lee had a fall while riding a cross-country motorbike in Scotland at a low speed. Despite the circumstances, Lee, originally from south-east London with no racing background, has become a top jockey in Britain since joining Burke in Yorkshire.
Known for his exceptional pace judgment, Lee showcased his skills with consecutive wins in the challenging Cambridgeshire race on horses trained by Burke. Fans have shown their support for Lee, who is currently hospitalized in Edinburgh, wishing him a speedy recovery and anticipating his return to the tracks in the future.
