Ryan Has A Tumble


Champion jockey Ryan Moore has been taken to Wrexham Park Hospital after suffering a wrist injury at Windsor on Monday night.

Moore has sustained a suspected soft-tissue injury after his mount, Rocket Rob, fell having passed the winning line in third place in the rippleffect.com Handicap.

Marco Botti's four-year-old slipped up on the far rail and unseated the luckless Moore, who had earlier in the day been dealt a major blow when Harbinger, whom he rode on eight of his nine career starts, was retired from racing.

Windsor clerk of the course Gemma Charrington said: "Ryan had a bit of a tumble and was taken to Wrexham Park for provisional X-rays and further assessment."
