Lawlor continues recovery process

PLANS are afoot to move jockey Francis Lawlor to a hospital nearer his family as he continues to make slow progress following the injuries he sustained in a fall at Down Royal on May 28.

Dr Adrian McGoldrick, the Turf Club’s chief medical officer, is happy with Lawlor’s recuperation to date but has warned there is still a long way to go.

“I’ve just been to see him and he’s coming on well. I’m very happy with him but he still has a long way to go from a rehabilitation point of view,” he said.
