Robbie Fradd to undergo heart surgery

Robbie Fradd is undergoing triple bypass surgery in the coming days. Frad has been a jockey for 40 years and has won the Jockey championship in Hong Kong in 2000. He has ridden Group 1 winners in Australia, Dubai, Hongkong, Japan, Mauritius, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Hong kong. He is fifty-eight years old and his age and long recovery period make it unlikely he will be able to return to racing. His riding style and sense of humour will miss him. The betting is open only for existing customers.
