Apprentice Wesley Joyce is expected to leave hospital next week after making “significant progress” in his recovery from a fall at Galway in July.
Joyce was riding Red Heel for Michael Mulvany in the Arthur Guinness Irish EBF Corrib Fillies Stakes, a seven-furlong Listed event, when the horse stumbled at a road crossing and unseated him.
The fall caused serious injury to Joyce’s chest and he was treated on track before being transferred to an intensive care unit.
