Lucky escape for Maguire

Jason Maguire has escaped serious injury to his shoulder following a fall at Cartmel yesterday.

The Grand National-winning jockey left the rural venue by air ambulance after he parted company from the Cathy Hamilton-trained Keyneema at the 10th fence of the Grant Thornton Handicap Chase.

Maguire was able to walk into the ambulance with his arm in a sling, amid initial fears he may have dislocated his shoulder.

But his agent, Chris Broad, said on Sunday morning: “He’s stiff and sore, but thankfully there’s nothing broken.

“The doctors checked him over, and he was released from hospital on Saturday night.

“He’ll probably just have a few days off now, which is as good an outcome as we could have expected.”
