Dwyer misses Salisbury mounts

Martin Dwyer is hoping to be back in the saddle tomorrow after giving up his mounts at Salisbury this afternoon.

The Derby-winning pilot took a knock on an old ankle injury on the gallops and has decided to get it treated properly and give it some rest.

His agent Gareth Owen said: “He’s injured his ankle a couple of times recently, in the stalls a week or so ago, and it flared up again this morning so he’s just getting a bit more treatment.

“Every time it gets a knock it swells up and that’s happened this morning, so he’s taking the day off to get some ice on it and get it down.

“Hopefully he’ll be all right to return tomorrow, it just needs a day to settle down.”
