Leading jockey James Reveley suffers broken arm in Pau fall

James Reveley, one of the stars of the weighing room in France, suffered a broken arm in a fall at Pau on Saturday.

France's champion jump jockey in 2016 was operated on overnight after his mount Liberatore crashed out of the Prix Chateau de Pau over fences.

Keith Reveley, father of James, said on Sunday morning: "He's broken his arm but is fine and had an operation on it last night.

"I haven't spoken to James yet this morning but hopefully there were no complications."
