Top jockey Tom Marquand is facing up to eight weeks out of action after undergoing shoulder surgery in Australia after a sickening fall on Saturday.
He will fly home later this month to recuperate alongside jockey wife Hollie Doyle who he has revealed is due to have an operation next week to address issues with the elbow she fractured in a race last month.
Marquand was lucky to escape a more serious injury when his mount Dorothy Gail met serious interference in the £1.1 million Inglis Millennium. Dorothy Gail sustained a knee fracture while jockey Josh Parr received a 20-meeting riding ban for his part in the incident.
