Watters breaks wrist in pile-up

Graham Watters appears to be the only jockey to have suffered an injury from a pile-up at Roscommon on Tuesday night.

Alan Doyle’s mount Lismacbryan Sue slipped over on a bend with around half a mile remaining of the roscommonracecourse.ie Flat Race, sending Watters and Thunder Hill crashing down, as well as Robert Geoghegan and Jog Along Jack.

Geoghegan had been managing without irons for most of the race as it was.

Lismacbryan Sue’s trainer, Garry Caldwell, said: “I went down to the hospital last night and Alan was fine – he was bruised but he’ll be OK.

“Unfortunately Graham Watters had broken his wrist though.”

Jog Along Jack’s trainer, Martin Cullinane, said of Geoghegan: “He’s fine. He’d been doing a good job of staying on up to that point but he had no chance when the other horse slipped up.

“It was a nasty incident.”

* Trade Commissioner will have to carry 9st 5lb if the hot ante-post favourite is to continue his winning spree in the Betfred Mile at Glorious Goodwood on August 3.

John Gosden’s progressive gelding has marched up the handicap following his convincing victories at Salisbury and Sandown and is just 4-1 with the sponsors.

Carlton House remains the top weight on 10st 5lb after being entered in error by the Sir Michael Stoute stable, while the likes of Cambridgeshire and Hunt Cup winner Prince Of Johanne (9st 6lb) and last year’s winner Boom And Bust (8st 13lb) could still be involved.

Webbow (8st 11lb) has an excellent record at Goodwood, having finished fourth in the race in 2009 and third in 2010.

Also a winner of a classified stakes at last year’s Glorious Goodwood, he is now with Malton trainer Julie Camacho.

She said: “Webbow is doing fine and he will hopefully head straight to the Betfred Mile, although he needs fast ground.”
