Goldstein breaks leg

Jamie Goldstein, who would have ridden ante-post gamble Bindaree in the Martell Grand National on Saturday, will miss the race.

The young jockey came to grief on board Saywhen in the Philip Leverhulme Memorial Novices` Chase at Ludlow and was taken to a hospital in Hereford for X-rays on a suspected broken leg.

Bindaree, trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, was cut to 16-1 from 22-1 by William Hill, and 20-1 from 25s by Coral for the Aintree showpiece.

His father and agent, Ray, said: 'He has got a suspected broken leg. He clouted a fence but got kicked by a horse from behind and has broken the fibula in his lower leg. He`s 90 per cent broken it but he`s having X-rays.

'His horse must have had a chances. He`s a bit down but he`s on painkillers now so it doesn`t hurt so much.'
