Dobbs taken to hospital after fall

Racing at Chepstow was abandoned after jockey Pat Dobbs was involved in a nasty fall from Roll The Dice in the opening “Brightwells” The Bloodstock Auctioneers Maiden Auction Stakes.

Dobbs was unseated from Richard Hannon’s juvenile four and a half furlongs out in the one-mile contest and has been taken to the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport, where he is conscious and lucid.
