A PLANE carrying jockeys bound for Goodwood has been forced to make an emergency landing after a mid-air ‘incident’.
Riders PJ McDonald, Callum Rodriguez, Rowan Scott, Tom Eaves and Jack Garrity were all on the aircraft.
Racing TV’s Angus McNae said they believed everyone was OK but that it was a developing situation.
The jockeys, who were travelling from the north, have all been pulled from their booked rides at Glorious Goodwood today.
McNae said: “We have some breaking news - a number of jockeys coming down from the north have been involved in an incident on a plane which has had to make an emergency landing.
“We think everyone is OK but the jockeys will not be riding.
“We wish them well. We think they’re OK. It was an emergency landing. They won’t be at Goodwood today.”
Stewards at Goodwood told Sun Racing that details on what exactly had happened were still being established.
It is believed the plane had taken off but was forced to return to ground soon after.
They confirmed all five jockeys were unhurt but unable to take their rides at one of the season’s biggest festivals.
