Ankle injury sidelines Dwyer

Martin Dwyer faces a few days on the sidelines following a nasty incident in the stalls at Lingfield on Wednesday.

The 2006 Derby-winning jockey escaped with just soft tissue and ligament damage to his left ankle after fears that he may have suffered a fracture proved unfounded.

He was hurt when Brave Tango, his intended mount in the arenaleisureplc.com Selling Stakes, played up in the stalls.

Dwyer was taken to East Surrey Hospital for an X-ray which revealed there was no fracture.

“He’ll be OK in a few days. It’s just bruised and has swollen up a bit,” said his agent Gareth Owen.

“He’ll be fine with a few days rest.”
