Top jockey Hollie Doyle is facing an extended spell on the sidelines after it emerged she had broken her left elbow in a heavy fall at Wolverhampton on Monday evening.
Her husband and fellow jockey Tom Marquand said he had no idea how long she would be absent, describing the setback as “frustrating”.
Record breaker Doyle was aboard the Archie Watson-trained 4-7 favourite The Perfect Crown in a seven-furlong claimer when her mount suffered a fatal injury on the home bend and she was thrown over the horse's head.
