Jockey Wesley Joyce in intensive care with chest injuries after fall at Galway Festival

Jockey Wesley Joyce remains in intensive care following a fall in a Flat race at Galway.

The apprentice jockey was riding Red Heel when the mare stumbled at the path and unseated him around five furlongs from the finish. At the time the 20-1 outsider, trained by Michael Mulvany, was disputing the lead in the Arthur Guinness Irish EBF Corrib Fillies Stakes.

The jockey, who won a handicap on the same horse earlier this month, was treated on course by racecourse doctor Professor McAnena. He was then transferred to University Hospital Galway where he is being treated for his injuries.
