Fractured vertebrae for Ana O'Brien but brain scan clear after Killarney fall

Ana O'Brien, the daughter of trainer Aidan, suffered a fractured C1 vertebra in her neck and T6 in her back after a fall at Killarney on Tuesday evening that saw her taken to hospital by air ambulance.

O'Brien, 21, was quickly attended to after her mount Druids Cross, trained by her brother, Joseph, slipped up over two furlongs out in the Celtic Steps The Show At Killarney Racecourse Rated Race, the second contest on the card which was run at 6.20pm.
