D Friday, September 18, 2009 METRO Jamie Kynes mother Madaline is comforted after his funeral Picture: PA Fire-death jockey was a natural AN IRISH apprentice jockey killed in a suspected arson attack was described as a young man born to ride at his funeral service yesterday. Hundreds of mourners packed St Le- onard and St Marys Roman Catholic church in Malton, NorthYorkshire, for the funeral mass of Jamie Kyne. The 18-year-old jockey died when fire ripped through a flats complex in Norton early on September 5. His fellow apprentice jockey Jan Wilson, 19, from Forfar, in Scotland also died in the blaze. Father Tim Bywater spoke of the sickening horror when news of the two deaths reached the community. Racing Post journalist Tom ORyan told the mourners: Somebody once said that jockeys are born, not made... he could have been talking directly and personally about Jamie Kyne. He was a young man born to ride. Jamie was a pure natural in the sad- dle. He was ultra-confident, totally fearless, frighteningly determined. There were six people in the flats in Buckrose Court when the fire broke out at about 2am. They had been cele- brating earlier after receiving their pool money from a local trainer. Mr Kyne and Miss Wilson were on the second floor, with their friend Ian Brennan who jumped to safety. Irish apprentice jockey Dean Pratt was treated at hospital for burns and smoke inhalation. A man in his 30s who was arrested in connection with the blaze remains on police bail.
