Jockey Brian Toomey will return to racing this weekend, two years after suffering severe head injuries after a fall.
The 26-year-old was placed in a medically-induced coma following surgery on brain injuries that he suffered after the horse he was riding fell at Perth Festival in 2013.
"The race on Sunday has been my focus for the past two years," BBC Sport quotes Toomey as saying.
"I could have taken the career-ending insurance available to me but all I wanted to do was be a jockey. It's my passion, it's an addiction and it's been my dream since I was a boy to be a jockey - it's a job and a life I love."
Toomey will ride Kings Grey in a hurdle race at Southwell on Sunday afternoon.
