I FIRST read about Chris Meehan on Twitter around this time last summer. It was a story easy to pick out because it came from a non-racing media outlet. You know when a middle-of-the-week racing story gets picked up by a non-racing media outlet, it’s going to be something out of the ordinary.

“Jockey kicked in the face then run over by ambulance!” In an internet world devoured in clickbait and sensationalism, you’d be forgiven for doubting the accuracy of such a headline.
