Jockey 'conscious and moving' after horror fall which saw horse put down and race voided

Amateur jockey Ben Sutton is said to be 'conscious and moving' after suffering a horror fall in which horse Kepy Blanc was sadly put down, whilst the race they were involved in was voided.

Sutton was competing aboard Kepy Blanc on Tuesday at Bangor racecourse for trainer Phillip Hobbs. During the two-mile handicap chase, the seven-year-old awkwardly fell at the third jump. Worryingly jockey Sutton was left motionless, as the medical and track team raced over to offer their assistance.

A yellow flag was then deployed, signalling the rest of the field to pull their horses up with the race then being voided.
