FOUND: Injury forces jockey who impressed itv racing pundit ruby walsh onto the sidelines - What They Never Told You

Rising star of the weighing room Lilly Pinchin has been forced onto the sidelines due to injuries sustained in a fall.

The 24-year-old was hurt when Tea For Free came down at the penultimate obstacle of Saturday's Sky Bet Chase. Charlie Longsdon's horse had made the running and was still in with a fighting chance of scooping the £56,950 first prize.

Pinchin made her way back in after the mishap, but the pain did not subside and she went for an X-ray at Doncaster Royal Hospital. The scan confirmed injuries which will put the rider, praised by top ITV Racing pundits this season, temporarily onto the sidelines.
