My thoughts are with Fran after horrific fall

My thoughts this week are with Fran Berry as he recovers from the injuries he suffered as a result of a horrific fall from Caliente after the filly unfortunately broke her leg.

They were in front at the time, so as well as suffering a heavy fall, Fran also got kicked from the horse coming behind.

As a result, he has damage done to his shoulder blade, ribs and leg and faces a couple of months on the sidelines at least. He is being well looked after in Blanchardstown Hospital but it’s bad luck for him, as he has had some very bad injuries before. I am sure he will return as good as ever.
