Jockey Stretton recovers after horror fall

Conditional jockey Clare Stretton survived a horrific fall at Ludlow today in a race that saw seven of the 14 runners disqualified for taking the wrong course.

Stretton was sent flying from her mount Mizinky at the first flight in the Tanners Claret Juvenile Novices’ Selling Hurdle, which meant that the obstacle had to be omitted on the final circuit while she was attended to by paramedics.
