US EditionFive Jockeys Miss Goodwood After Emergency Landing
WEST SUSSEX, ENGLAND, JUL 31 – Five jockeys missed their rides at the Glorious Goodwood meeting after their plane experienced engine failure and made an emergency landing, officials said.
- Five jockeys, including 29-year-old Rowan Scott, had boarded a light aircraft at Bagby Airfield close to Thirsk on Thursday, headed to the Glorious Goodwood meeting, but engine problems forced the pilot to make an emergency landing.
- The light twin-engine plane lost one engine about half an hour into the flight, prompting the experienced pilot to turn back immediately for Bagby.
- The pilot reported a loud bang as the engine failed, and debris from the engine hit the plane’s side during the descent, but all five passengers remained safe upon landing.
- Scott said, "Thank God we are in one piece," noting it was his first and last private plane trip, while his agent confirmed the group became "a bit panicky" during the incident.
- Consequently, the jockeys were unable to fulfill their scheduled rides during the fourth day of the renowned Goodwood event, including Rowan Scott's mounts Magellan Cloud in the 1.20 race and Naana's Sparkle at 3.45.
