Williams sidelined with broken arms Christian Williams faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after breaking both his arms in a fall at Cheltenham on Saturday. The English jump jockey is recovering in Cheltenham General Hospital after having surgery last night following his tumble from Beshabar in the Ultima Frontrunner In IT Solutions Novices' Chase. "I saw him last night before he went in to have an operation," said Kevin Darley, chief executive of the Professional Jockeys Association. "He had a compound fracture on his left arm and a normal fracture on his right arm which they discovered later I believe. "He's in good spirits. He's had more than his share of injuries - equine gladiators I call them. When I saw him he was fine and was sat up in bed. "You wouldn't think anything had happened to him except that he had two great big plasters on his arm."
