Irish jockey Wesley Joyce 'breathing on his own' but remains in ICU after Galway Races fall

Wesley Joyce is reported to have made “major progress” over the last week as he continues to recover from a fall at the Galway Festival.

The 19-year-old suffered major chest trauma when unseated from Red Heel in a seven-furlong Listed race at the track last Thursday.

While the rider remains in intensive care, he is now breathing unaided and is responsive.
