Crashing fall ends Winston’s hopes of first jockeys’ title

ROBERT WINSTON suffered multiple fractures of his jaw in a crashing fall at Ayr on Saturday night, dashing his hopes of a first jockeys’ championship.

The Irish-born rider, who faces at least two months on the sidelines, was at the top of the table on 98 winners with Jamie Spencer and Seb Sanders his closest pursuers.

Winston, 25, was riding Pearl’s A Singer in the Farrans Utilities Maiden Voyage Handicap when the filly appeared to slip on the home bend, sending him crashing through the rails.
