McCoy suffers rib injury at Taunton
McCoy suffered a final-fence fall aboard Laudatory in the Steve Logan Memorial County Contractors Handicap Hurdle.
The 16-times champion jockey gave up his final ride of the day, Hopeful Start, in the totetrifecta Handicap Chase.
A shaky-looking McCoy was later taken by ambulance on a stretcher to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton.
Clerk of the course Michael Trickey said: “He had some morphine and they’ve had a further look and taken him to hospital.
“He has suspected cracked ribs.”
McCoy is due to be in action at Warwick today, where he has four rides.
McCoy later confirmed he had sustained broken ribs.
He tweeted: “Broke a few ribs so not too bad and hopefully back to work very soon.
“Just need the doctor to let me out of the hospital now and I’ll be happy.”
