- Liam Treadwell, the jockey who achieved an improbable victory aboard a 100-1 shot in the Grand National in 2009, has died. The 34-year-old was found at his Shropshire home on Tuesday morning.
Treadwell’s racing career was closely associated with the trainer Venetia Williams, who gave him the National-winning ride aboard Mon Mome when her principal jockey chose to ride her other runner. “It was the best day of my life, and largely thanks to a fantastic ride from him,” she said on Tuesday.
There is a serious problem in the jockey community with depression and that is in no small part to do with the diet and lifestyle of these competitors. I studied sports science at college and one of our professors was working very closely with elite jockeys. He told us that their diets were shocking. They would eat maybe a Mars bar for breakfast then nothing until later that night, maybe a protein bar or a can of coke. They used saunas regularly in order to lose weight. They were basically anorexic and bulimic. They used laxatives, over exercise and vomiting to control their weight and they all had osteoporosis. When you are on a constant diet and your body is not nourished it affects the brain in an extreme way. Depression and suicidal ideation result with food and weight loss becoming an obsession. That's why theres such a problem with elite level jockeys and it needs to stop before someone else takes their life.
Well said!!!! The lid needs to be open on the life of a Jockey
Concussions ruin lives
Rip Treaders, I got to meet you for a short time and you were a joy, sleep tight handsome xx
Tragic. R.I.P Liam, hopefully at peace now.

It still hasn't become definite news as to the cause of his death. This is pure speculation!
Those that know know!
He commited suicide after depression. But the media are too afraid to mention it. PC and all that.
BK007 or it’s nobody’s business? A family is grieving.
TheFallsCapone You don’t know that for certain, because there isn’t yet a death certificate
You 'believe' he committed suicide...dreadful reporting.
The greatest day of his life was ruined by some ' fella' commenting on his teeth . Telling him to look into the camera and ' show the world his teeth '
R.I.P Liam ( Grand National Winning Jockey ).
His death has been described as unexplained with no third party involvement. This description is often used in the case of suicides when for various reasons, often requests from the family, that the true cause of death not be disclosed. Unfortunately I think it is pretty evident that this was suicide.
Manic Is it still shocking that media Exposures tells you the truth! Keeping these secrets is the very reason people commit suicide it's called shame! Read up on it!
God, please stop the hate
@@MediaExposures It was poor though with what sounds like a rapper narrating it. More class maybe.
