Quote:
Champion jockey Tony McCoy will be kept in hospital overnight for observation following a fall at Cheltenham.
McCoy was partnering the Nicky Henderson-trained Quantitativeeasing in the Barbury International Horse Trials Handicap Hurdle when the gelding stumbled at the second flight, throwing McCoy into the air.
While he was conscious after the fall, he had to be stretchered off and following assessment at the track, McCoy was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and will spend the night there when it is then expected he will be released on Friday.
