Haddon aiming for Wednesday return

Colin Haddon hopes to be back in action on Wednesday after escaping serious injury in a fall at Windsor last night.

The 5lb claimer was taken to hospital for precautionary X-rays after being thrown from Half Pint Bill at the start before the John Gale Birthday Selling Stakes.

Haddon was attended by paramedics for several minutes before being stretchered into an ambulance but the rider now expects to make a speedy return.

His agent, Neil Allan, said: “He’s fine. He had some X-rays done last night but he’s not broken anything and is hoping to be back on Wednesday.”
