Flood sidelined after Aintree fall Paddy Flood is set for a spell on the sidelines after a tumble at Aintree last Friday. The jockey broke his collarbone when Schindlers Hunt suffered a fatal fall in the John Smith's Melling Chase, causing him to miss the ride on Vic Venturi in the following day's Grand National. His agent Ciaran O'Toole said: "I haven't heard of any further complications apart from the collarbone. It was just a shame for him, with Aintree and then Punchestown round the corner. Sometimes they can be back in three weeks, sometimes it takes a bit longer."
