Bryan Cooper is back riding out and could return to racecourse action in a few weeks following a horror fall at the Cheltenham Festival.
The retained jockey for the powerful Gigginstown House Stud operation suffered a complicated and excruciating multiple fracture of one of his legs in a fall from Clarcam in the Fred Winter Hurdle.
Dr Adrian McGoldrick, Turf Club chief medical officer, described the leg break at the time as "the worst fracture I have ever seen in a lower limb".
Now, Cooper's long period of rehabilitation is finally coming to an end.
Tom, his father and a successful trainer, said: "He's getting there. He's had huge improvement and started riding out last weekend. Hopefully a few weeks and he'll be back in there."
