Willie Mullins has given an update on Paul Townend, who picked up an injury after falling from Agusta Gold in the race won by Politesse at the Galway Races this afternoon.
The 31-year old jockey suffered a nasty fall after being unseated by Agusta Gold at the first fence during the Eileen Kelly Memorial Race. Townend landed awkwardly in the fall, and appeared to hurt his thumb when he hit the deck.
Townend has suffered injuries to his shoulders and ankles in the past, and will be hoping to shake off this injury and not have to spend time on the sidelines.
