Latham in the wars at Ascot

Jockey Keegan Latham was taken to hospital for a check-up after suffering a nasty-looking injury when leaving the stalls aboard Elletelle in the John Guest Diadem Stakes at Ascot.

The 20-year-old champion South African apprentice returned to the weighing room with his hand over an eye after the filly jumped slightly at the start, causing her head to collide with Latham’s face.
