Jockeys suffer injuries after Wolves pile-up Richard Kingscote is in a "lot of pain" after he sustained frightful injuries from a five-horse pile-up at Wolverhampton on Thursday evening. The jockey's agent Guy Jewell confirmed that Kingscote has broken a wrist, a forearm, an elbow and his collarbone after he was brought down from Cape Of Hope in a six-furlong claimer. Kingscote also punctured a lung and remains in New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, where he could soon undergo at least one operation. Jewell said: "I have heard from Richard this morning. He texted me to say he is as comfortable as he can be, but is in a lot of pain. He is still in the same hospital and has done his wrist, forearm, elbow, collarbone and has also punctured his lung. "That (his lung) was re-inflated last night, but I would imagine they will see later today if any of his broken bones need to be operated on." Paul Hanagan sustained a broken collarbone during the incident when Ortac Rock was brought down by Fitz Flyer. He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, for X-rays but has since been discharged. The rider's agent Richard Hale said: "It was a clean break of the collarbone and he'll be out for a good month. At least it's the end of the season, and he'll be back for the (Dubai) Carnival. It could have been much worse." Fitz Flyer's jockey Jordan Nason suffered a fractured cheekbone. "He's in decent enough spirits with himself, but he's very stiff and is a bit battered and bruised," said the jockey's agent, Mark Furnass. Fellow apprentice Toby Atkinson, who was unseated on the inside of the track from Powerful Pierre, escaped unscathed. "I spoke to Toby last night and he said he was fine," said Atkinson's agent Philip Shea. Freddy Tylicki was also involved in the collision when Pandar was brought down rounding the home turn. He sustained a broken nose and was sent to Addenbrooke's on Thursday evening as a precaution, confirmed his agent Laura Way. Wolverhampton's stewards inquired into the fall of Fitz Flyer, who was fatally injured, and were satisfied that no other horse nor rider had contributed to the pile-up.
