Yorkshire’s Racing Community Mourns the Death of Jockeys Jamie Kyne and Jan Wilson
Yorkshire’s Racing Community Saddened by the Death of Jockeys Jamie Kyne and Jan Wilson
The flags flew at half-mast here as racing in north Yorkshire mourned the death of two young jockeys, one of whom “had the world at his feet”.
Malton and Middleham might be its main training centers, but it is the Knavesmire which has a unique draw to those who work in racing in the area. Stable lads, jockeys, owners and trainers from across Yorkshire come racing at the track even when they do not have a runner, to socialize and swap news and opinions. Yesterday the talk was of only one subject.
Jamie Kyne, 18, and Jan Wilson, 19, died in a fire at a block of flats in Norton, near Malton, early on Saturday morning. A local man in his 30s was yesterday released on police bail after being questioned on suspicion of arson.
Man Arrested Over Fire that Killed to Young Jockeys
John Quinn, whose stable employed Kyne as an apprentice, was still clearly stunned by the news of the deaths but paid a glowing tribute to the teenager.
