New Zealand Jockeys Donating Fees To Fallen Rider’s Children
Rebecca Black was tragically killed in a horse racing accident in New Zealand last Sunday, and her fellow jockeys are banding together to set up a trust for the 40-year-old's three children, according to the New Zealand Herald. Jockeys are able to donate all or part of their ride fees to the trust, and the Jockeys Association has also pledged $5,000. Already, the local racing community has raised approximately $20,000 for the family Black left behind.
Black was killed in a flat race at Gore due to the fall of her mount, Point Proven. On Friday, a funeral service was held at Gore in which the jockey's casket took a final lap around the racetrack.
“Everyone is upset, it's one of those things that you always hope won't happen,” said Campbell Moncur, deputy chief executive
