this is a great surprise, still so young .. a terrific jockey but I believe he suffered badly from a nervous complaint and was always telling how keeping his weight down was injurious to his health .. R I P

Like to think he's gone to meet his old pal Shergar for a long gallop across some beautiful rolling hills.

The demons are behind you now Walter. Rest in Peace.

Always remembered for Shergar but for me his greatest ride was winning the Derby on Lammtarra. A great big race jockey, cool as you like - although he had his demons.

RIP Choirboy.
