Robert Winston awaits injury news
Wednesday 8 July 2015 17:00, UK
Robert Winston could be sidelined for up to four weeks as he continues to be afflicted by a back problem.
The jockey suffered a heavy fall in a nasty incident at Doncaster late last month, but after being taken to hospital with back pain, his injuries were not thought to be serious.
Winston has, however, since undergone a second scan which revealed two partial fractures.
He was also forced to return to hospital on Tuesday evening, but has since shown much improvement.
"He had to go to York (hospital) as he was in very, very bad pain," said his agent Lee Newton.
"They've now given him the correct painkillers and he feels a lot better.
"As opposed to a likely return, we won't know until the Jockey Club doctor gets back to us with the scan results.
"It's not the end of the world, and we're probably looking at him being out for up to four weeks."
