Moscrop ‘fine’ after Ripon fall

Ripon racecourse officials say Eva Moscrop is “fine” after the young jockey suffered a bad fall at the North Yorkshire venue yesterday.

Racing was delayed 40 minutes after she was unshipped from Brenkley Melani, which she owns and bred, on the way to the start of the SIS Live Maiden Stakes.

During the delay, the other runners were returned to the paddock to allow the helicopter to land as near to Moscrop as possible. Moscrop was taken by air ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary complaining of neck and back injuries.
