TOAD TO SUCCESS

Pritchard Webb is so glad he took stock

JACOB PRITCHARD WEBB is hoping live Cheltenham Festival contender Macktoad can prove he made the right decision to focus his future on being as a bloodstock agent.

Five years ago the 29-year-old (inset) saw his career as a jockey ended when he suffered an horrific fall at Auteuil in France, which left him paralysed from the waist down.

Determined not to allow his paraplegia stop him from having a fulfilling job, he has worked as a journalist, TV pundit and even took up para table tennis before settling on buying horses for a living.
