Bryony Frost rushed to hospital after bone-crunching fall as horse Sir Psycho causes carnage at Bangor
BRYONY FROST was rushed to hospital after a bone-crunching fall from Sir Psycho at Bangor.
The trailblazing jockey, 27, came down heavily at the second fence of a 2m4½f handicap chase yesterday.
The Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old gelding jumped right at the first and repeated the error at the next.
Sir Psycho was up and OK and carried on running only to obliterate the wing of the next jump by smashing through it.
He was reported to be fine after his second incident which came in a few seconds of unadulterated carnage.
Racing was delayed by 20 minutes at the Welsh track as repairs to the fence were carried out.
Sky Sports Racing reported that Frost was taken to Wrexham hospital with a suspected broken collar bone.
This is the latest injury blow for Frost, who took six months off in the summer to recover from a broken back.
