JOCKEY DAVID MULLINS has suffered a fracture to his clavicle and his T12 thoracic vertebrae following a heavy fall in racing at Thurles yesterday.
The 23-year-old, a nephew of trainer Willie Mullins, was airlifted to Cork University Hospital after falling from Lean And Keen. This morning, the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board’s senior medical officer Dr Jennifer Pugh revealed the extent of Mullins’ injuries and said that he will undergo surgery.
Yesterday, the IHRB said ‘David was alert, speaking and moving all limbs’ and Dr Pugh today added:

“David is very grateful for all the well-wishes and also to (ICRR air ambulance) and (Order of Malta paramedics).”
For all the doom and gloom talked about Tottenham this season (no signings, stadium delays, Poch to United, out of both domestic cups), they continue to jog just behind the top 2, while keeping the top 4 dogfight just out of sight in the rearview mirror. One loss and they’ll be branded bottle jobs again, but with Wembley form picking up, and a tasty tie against Dortmund coming up, I can’t help but be happy.
Hanging on in there. Not at their best but picking up another win. COYS
Spurs are the type of football club that would give ya the horn.
@limofax: just like your ma, good stuff.

I can’t suffer Michael Oliver either.
He was the last one picked in school who:
1) you stuck in nets cos he’s brutal at football
2) you then told him to keep time cos he was crap in goal
3) eventually made him referee cos he was brutal at everything else, then became a brutal ref
Leicester should have been out of sight but Spurs more clinical with the chances they had
