“His face is all swollen up with the impact. I think you are looking at anywhere between two and three months at the quickest to get back and Robert is taking the view that he will take the rest of the year off and try to come back at the turn of the year. Whether he rides in Dubai or on the all-weather over here, he's not going to rush back. He's got a lot of damage to his teeth and all that will need to be sorted out.”
“He's very chirpy, he never even mentioned the championship. I think he's just relieved he's still talking to us because it was a hell of a fall, he got a real bash in the face. He could have been left unconscious - it could have been a lot worse.”
“Graham was declared to ride the horse as it was a 48-hour declaration race. He was fine at the time but is under the weather now and he is feeling worse today, not better. He hopes to be back in the saddle on Monday but he won't be riding at the weekend.”
