Jockey Hamilton out for 'long time'

Tony Hamilton will soon be moved to a hospital in Middlesbrough following his horrific fall at Ayr on Saturday night.

The jockey was taken to Ayr Hospital after his mount, Flying Statesman, reared over backwards and landed on him before the start of a seven-furlong claimer.

“The CT scan he had on his back was OK but they’ve now found that he actually has four fractures of the pelvis,” said his agent Richard Hale.

“They are going to move him down to Middlesbrough as soon as they can get an ambulance organised.

“We’re definitely not putting a timescale on how long he is going to be out for, but it’s going to be a long time.”
