Jockey Josh Moore has had surgery in hospital two days after a horse fell on top of him in a race.
The sportsman was hurt when Gleno collided with him when he came down at Haydock on Saturday. Trained by his father Gary, the chaser was tracking the leaders when he parted company with his rider. Medics assisted Moore, who went in an ambulance to Aintree Hospital, where scans revealed he had broken his leg, several ribs, punctured a lung and damaged his lower back. He spent several months on the sidelines earlier this season after another fall led to spinal surgery.
His sister Hayley Moore said on Monday: "He's had the operation on his leg and there are no complications and they are happy with it. We're just waiting for him to come round."
