Jockey Watters breaks wrist

Graham Watters appears to be the only jockey to have suffered an injury from a pile-up at Roscommon on Tuesday night.

Alan Doyle’s mount Lismacbryan Sue slipped over on a bend with around half a mile remaining of the roscommonracecourse.ie Flat Race, sending Watters and Thunder Hill crashing down, as well as Robert Geoghegan and Jog Along Jack.

Geoghegan had been managing without irons for most of the race as it was.

Lismacbryan Sue’s trainer, Garry Caldwell, said: “I went down to the hospital last night and Alan was fine – he was bruised but he’ll be OK.

“Unfortunately Graham Watters had broken his wrist though.”

Jog Along Jack’s trainer, Martin Cullinane, said of Geoghegan: “He’s fine. He’d been doing a good job of staying on up to that point but he had no chance when the other horse slipped up.

“It was a nasty incident.”
