Talking Horses: Bryony Frost to see specialist after Southwell fall


The first female rider to win a Grade One race over jumps at the Cheltenham Festival will see a shoulder specialist on Wednesday after a fall at Southwell

Bryony Frost, who provided one of the highlights of last week’s Cheltenham Festival when victorious aboard Frodon in last week’s Ryanair Chase, will see a specialist in Cardiff on Wednesday to assess the injury to her shoulder sustained in a fall at Southwell on Monday.

Frost had been due to ride at Huntingdon on Tuesday but her hopes of building on last week’s memorable success are on hold for the moment at least, just 16 days before the opening afternoon of the Grand National Festival at Aintree.

“Bryony Frost had a fall yesterday at Southwell racecourse,” Johnno Spence, the jockey’s agent, said on Tuesday morning, “and was taken to hospital for a precautionary X-ray on her shoulder. Bryony is out of hospital and currently waiting to see a specialist in Cardiff tomorrow to agree the best plan of action moving forward in terms of her rehabilitation. We will update you when she has seen the specialist.”
