Chantal Sutherland set for first ride since suffering injury while avoiding geese Chantal Sutherland’s long road back from an horrific injury which threatened to end her successful career is nearly over.
The hugely popular jockey, former reality star and model, has not ridden in a race since she was involved in a freak accident at Gulfstream Park in Florida in May 2023.
At one point Sutherland, who has ridden more than 1,200 winners of more than £46 million in prize-money, feared she might never get back on a horse.
She had just completed a race, steering her mount to finish fourth in a stakes event when they were confronted by two geese crossing the course from the infield lake.
Her horse spooked and Sutherland was thrown off, landing with such impact that she broke the humerus bone clean off her shoulder.
