McCoy suffers rib injury at Taunton Tony McCoy faces a spell on the sidelines after sustaining suspected cracked ribs at Taunton this afternoon. McCoy suffered a final-flight fall aboard Laudatory in the Steve Logan Memorial County Contractors Handicap Hurdle. The 16-times champion jockey gave up his final ride of the day, Hopeful Start, in the totetrifecta Handicap Chase. A shaky-looking McCoy was later taken by ambulance on a stretcher to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton. Clerk of the course Michael Trickey said: "He had some morphine and they've had a further look and taken him to hospital. "He has suspected cracked ribs." McCoy is due to be in action at Warwick on Saturday, where he has four rides.
