Casey recovering after horror fall

DAVID CASEY has dislocated his hip and suffered a small fracture to a vertebra in his neck, following a fall from Emotional Article in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on Tuesday.

There were fears he had fractured his hip, but they proved unfounded. Casey was given extensive X-Rrays and an MRI scan, concentrating on his pelvis and neck, at Blanchardstown Hospital in Dublin.

Fortunately, they revealed absolutely no spinal involvement and the rider will make a full recovery in time.
