A transgender jockey has bravely spoken about his devastation at losing contact with his mum.
Tyler Leslight told how it took him a year to recover from what happened after he came out, but now insists he's "never been happier". The 22-year-old detailed his emotional journey after landing his biggest success in Australia earlier this week.
He celebrated the career milestone aboard Fire King at Mackay racecourse, in a sprint broadcast on national TV. Leslight, who has previously been in the winners' enclosure, became the first transgender jockey to take a top class event.
