Nina Carberry may have broken her collar bone today

Nina Carberry, who was unseated at Downpatrick on Wednesday, is expected to be sidelined for six weeks with a broken collarbone

Six weeks ? Choc was back after 5 days to ride Voy Pur Ustedes at Kempton in Dec 2007 stating "I broke it before; it is as good now as it is going to get!"
Glad to see Nina has some sense.

Tom Bellamy taken to hospital after the first at Taunton, thought to have broken a leg.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Yes he broke his femur. Ironic too that Davy Russell had a heavy fall at Thurles and was stood down for the rest of the card, when all things being equal he would have been at Aintree.

"Fully conscious. He was stamped between the shoulders by a following horse. Jockeys valet has just told me everything is precautionary and that he is talking to people and things hopefully not as bad as first thought."

Ryan Mania's valet Steve Charlton: "I think Ryan took a kick between his shoulder blades but he can move all his limbs and is talking."

 

[trudij]

Owch. Talk about ups and downs - hopefully all is ok

 

[chroniclandlord]

Best wishes to Ryan Mania.

So relieved to hear that!

walking about 'perfectly fine'

What a week for Mr. Mania.

[sunybay]

Where it happened?

 

[Irish Stamp]

He's been in Japan so presumably it happened over there.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Sorry guys, misinformation, Ruby is fine.

 

[G-G]

Just watched a replay of the race in Japan; firstly what possessed anyone to build a course with dips like that, secondly really noticeable the difference in builds between the jockeys, thirdly they didn't hang about did they, or that is it just the way it looks on YouTube and fourth, my goodness didn't Ruby looked chuffed??
