Ronald “Tickey” Carr needs your help

 

Ronald “Tickey” Carr, former professional jockey and one of South African Horseracing’s great characters, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer in October of last year. Tickey rode more than 500 winners during his career, his two major victories coming aboard Goldwater in the Clairwood Winter Handicap and on Larne in the 1983 Revlon Charlies at Gosforth Park. He never lost his love for racing and was often seen at the track and the various sales around the country and as a keen golfer, was for many years a loyal supporter of the annual Racing Masters.


Tickey’s condition deteriorated quite rapidly after the initial diagnosis and for the past couple of months has been hospitalised at Linksfield, receiving treatment for both his Cancer and other complications. He is due to go home some time this week and will need the services of a nurse/caregiver, but funds are now at a premium, having exhausted his medical benefits and personal savings.
