Big freeze halting Downpatrick jockey Caoilin Quinn rise to the top

Caoilin Quinn is feeling mighty frustrated. The 21-year-old from Downpatrick has seen his hot streak stifled by sub-zero temperatures that have frozen out jump racing in Britain on back-to-back Saturdays.

“I’ve been on the way to the races the last couple of days and it has been abandoned,” says the Northern Ireland jockey. “It was a kick in the teeth.

“Hopefully, it is going to warm up next week, so we can get the show back on the road, and I can start again where I left off,” adds Quinn, whose last mount before the weather ’s untimely intrusion, scored at Leicester 10 days ago.
