Connor Beasley recovering after surgery

Connor Beasley is reported to be in a stable condition after undergoing surgery on a fractured skull following a fall at Wolverhampton on Tuesday.

The rider sustained the injury when his mount Cumbrianna fell over two furlongs from home in the opening six-furlong handicap.

Cumbrianna, who was trained by Bryan Smart, had to be put down. The filly looked to have clipped heels before she fell and subsequently brought down the Sarah Hollinshead-trained Bilash, who appeared to kick Beasley.
