Lee suffers fractured jaw in Huntingdon fall

Jockey Graham Lee faces a spell on the sidelines after sustaining a double fracture to his jaw at Huntingdon.

Lee suffered the injury in the Betfredpoker Novices´ Chase when his mount, Cash King, came to grief four out.

The Galway rider took a kick from the hampered Sea Cadet having crashed to the deck and temporarily lost consciousness.

An early diagnosis revealed he had fractured his jaw in two places and Lee was taken to Addenbrooke´s Hospital in Cambridge for further analysis.

Attending medical officer Stephen Hughes said: "It looks like he´s fractured his jaw in a couple of places.

"He was out for a moment but has responded to questioning."
