Top jockey aims to return to the saddle at start of October

Barry Geraghty is hoping to be back in action the weekend after next following his recovery from a broken arm sustained in July.

The top jockey, who suffered a double fracture to his right humerus in a crashing fall at the final fence in the Betfred Summer Plate at Market Rasen, has been receiving physio and riding out as he builds up to his comeback.

“I’ve been riding out on and off for the last ten days or so and it’s coming along well,” he said on At The Races. “I’ve got a plate and screws inserted but I’ve had a lot of physio and I’m aiming to be back the weekend after next.”
