Brenton Primmer (born September 1989) is an Australian thoroughbred racehorse jockey. He is the son of Mark and Rose Primmer. Mark is a racehorse trainer. On 19 September 2006, Primmer was involved in a race fall at Warrnambool. Primmer fell from galloper Hyped when rounding the home turn at Warrnambool and suffered head injuries and neck fractures. After the fall Primmer was not breathing and was revived on the track before being taken to South West Healthcare and then flown to The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne in an induced coma. Brain scans taken in the hospital revealed that things were not looking very good. A decision was made to turn off his life support. Amazingly, he continued to breathe on his own since then, and started to show signs of recovery. He half opened his left eye and clenched his fist. He was in intensive care at The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, for several weeks before been transferred to the Epworth Rehabilitation Centre. Brenton has been gaining more movement and has been able to feed himself. On 14 November 2006, Brenton said his first words since the fall. He spoke to his father Mark over the phone.
