Must Read


Amateur jockey Alice Procter is in intensive care in hospital after undergoing an operation following a heavy fall at Cartmel on Saturday.

The 21-year-old was flown by air ambulance to Royal Preston Hospital after coming down on Uggy Uggy Uggy in a female riders’ handicap hurdle at the track.

There was a delay to the two remaining races on the card as the former event rider received medical attention.

A statement from the Injured Jockeys’ Fund said: “Amateur jockey Alice Procter had a fall at Cartmel Racecourse yesterday and immediately reported back pain.

“She was flown by helicopter to the major trauma centre at Royal Preston Hospital.

“Following scans, she was then taken to the operating theatre under the care of the spinal team.

“She is now in the ICU with her family in attendance. Further updates will be issued in due course.”

Procter is the daughter of Doug and Lucy Procter, whose Glanvilles Stud in Dorset bred dual Champion Hurdle winner Honeysuckle.
