Laverty to be released from hospital

Jockey Derek Laverty is set to be released from hospital after he was reported to be “up and about” this morning.

The 5lb claimer came off worst in a nasty incident at Towcester yesterday, where three horses were involved in a pile-up at the third-last flight of the bestpartiesever.com Mares’ Only “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle.
