Elliott Facing a Long Absence Joey Elliott, who took a fall at the fifth flight from Davids City in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last Sunday, goes for an operation today at Dundonnell Hospital in Northern Ireland, to insert a bar in his thigh bone after a clean break. Doctors have told him that it will be three months before he can put weight on the leg and he faces nine months on the sidelines. (EM)
