Jockeys Jim Crowley, Trevor Whelan and David Noonan will require “prolonged recovery and rehabilitation” after their falls<\/a>, the Injured Jockeys’ Fund has said.<\/p>\n

Racing was delayed for nearly half an hour at York on Sunday after Crowley and Whelan were injured in the Garrowby Stakes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Noonan was kicked by a horse at the start of a race at Fontwell.<\/p>\n

The IJF confirmed Crowley and Whelan were taken to Leeds General Infirmary after their falls.<\/p>\n

“Jim sustained a pelvic and leg fracture and after initial treatment to stop internal bleeding on Sunday, he had surgery on Monday to stabilise his fractures,” a IJF statement read.<\/p>\n

“He is doing well post-operation, is in good spirits and will remain in hospital for the time being.”<\/p>\n

The IJF said Whelan is scheduled to see a specialist ankle surgeon on Tuesday after suffering a “complex ankle fracture”.<\/p>\n

Crowley was riding the William Haggas-trained race favourite Almeraq when, short of room about a furlong out, his mount clipped heels with another horse and came down.<\/p>\n

Almeraq rolled over Crowley while Henry Candy’s Tiger Bay following behind had nowhere to go and was brought down, which also sent Whelan to the turf.<\/p>\n

Both horses appeared to escape without serious injury.<\/p>\n

Noonan had surgery at Royal Sussex County Hospital on Monday to stabilise a leg fracture and the IJF said he “hopes to be discharged soon”.<\/p>\n

“All three jockeys will require prolonged recovery and rehabilitation,” the injured jockeys’ body added.<\/p>\n

“They are extremely grateful for the excellent care they received from the medical teams on the racecourses and would like to thank everybody for their concern.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jockeys Jim Crowley, Trevor Whelan and David Noonan will require “prolonged recovery and rehabilitation” after their falls, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125089,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-125088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125088\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
