Trainer Gary Moore reports son and jockey Josh to have made significant progress as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a fall at Haydock in April.
Moore sustained broken ribs, a broken leg, a punctured lung and damage to his lower back when parting company with Gleno at the sixth fence in a veterans’ chase on Merseyside.
As if those injuries were not enough, complications due to a chest infection meant he spent several weeks in critical care.

Almost three months on from the initial fall, the 30-year-old remains in hospital, but Moore Snr believes he is finally well on the road to recovery.
“He’s not a normal person, is he? He wanted to get better as quickly as he could and get out (of hospital). As well as he’s being looked after, he’s been in there 12 weeks now, which is a long time for anyone,” said the Cisswood Stables handler.

“When he’ll be out of hospital, I don’t really know, but the sooner the better.”
