Smurfit Champion Hurdle-winning jockey Dean Gallagher has been discharged from hospital after narrowly escaping serious injury in a crashing fall at Wetherby on Tuesday.
Storm Tiger, his mount in the wetherbyracing.co.uk Handicap Chase, blundered at the fourth-last fence and Gallagher, who was hurled head first into the ground, was attended by paramedics for more than 10 minutes before being stretchered into the ambulance.
