Jockey Major Charlie O’Shea is making "good progress" from intensive care after a horror fall at Wincanton.
The amateur rider was airlifted to hospital following his unseat from Paudie on the weekend card. O'Shea, 40, has been treated for "serious chest injuries" after he was trampled by a rival runner in the New John Dufosee Novices' Hunters' Chase.
Yesterday, the Injured Jockeys' Fund confirmed the sportsman was under sedation in intensive care, as medics assessed his condition. On Tuesday afternoon, the IJF gave more details about the injury O'Shea suffered at the racecourse. “Major Charlie O’Shea is making good progress in Bristol Southmead Hospital where he has been treated for a flail chest sustained during his fall on Sunday," a spokesperson said.
