Talking Horses: Bryony Frost to see specialist after Southwell fall

Bryony Frost has not won a race since her success on Frodon at Cheltenham
Frost had been due to ride at Huntingdon on Tuesday but her hopes of building on last week’s memorable success are on hold for the moment at least, just 16 days before the opening afternoon of the Grand National Festival at Aintree.
“Bryony Frost had a fall yesterday at Southwell racecourse,” Johnno Spence, the jockey’s agent, said on Tuesday morning, “and was taken to hospital for a precautionary X-ray on her shoulder. Bryony is out of hospital and currently waiting to see a specialist in Cardiff tomorrow to agree the best plan of action moving forward in terms of her rehabilitation. We will update you when she has seen the specialist.”

Before Trinidad and Tobago face Wales their former defender recalls a ‘bodily assault’ by Crouch at the 2006 World Cup Tue 19 Mar 2019  12.00 GMT Last modified on Tue 19 Mar 2019  12.06 GMT Shares 208   Peter Crouch makes use of Brent Sancho’s hair to head England into the lead against Trinidad and Tobago at the 2006 World Cup. Photograph: Tom Jenkins/The Guardian A globetrotting playing career took Brent Sancho from Portland to Priestfield, Ross County to Rochester Rhinos but, speaking to the former Trinidad and Tobago defender, there really is only one place to start: that unforgettable night in Nuremberg at the 2006  World Cup . For 82 minutes Sancho and Dennis Lawrence, now the manager of the Caribbean nation, had held firm against Sven-Göran Eriksson’s England, until Peter Crouch pulled on Sancho’s dreadlocks for leverage and headed beyond Shaka Hislop. Steven Gerrard sealed victory in stoppage time, by which p...

Liverpool keep the pressure up on Manchester City as they beat Cardiff 2-0, thanks to second half goals by Wijnaldum and Milner. The Reds dominated much of the game, but finally got the breakthrough when Wijnaldum fired the ball home after a short corner, before Milner doubled their lead from the penalty spot after Morrison brought down Salah. Cardiff had chances of their own, with Morrison going closest, but they couldn't quite find a crucial goal and the visitors managed to see the game out.

Concussions in sport: I stopped playing after sustaining head knocks

The doctor said the blows brought on a form of epilepsy. What advice do I now give my sport-mad kids?   @journomatcleary Tue 19 Mar 2019  17.00 GMT Last modified on Tue 19 Mar 2019  17.30 GMT Shares 12 Comments 3   Dragons player James Graham says the thrill of playing rugby league overrides the risk of brain injury. Photograph: Chris Hyde/Getty Images I was 63 not out and batting beautifully, flaying Weston Creek fifths all over Rivett Oval. Cut shots, pull shots, mighty heaves down town. I was 16 years old and surely on the way to a hundred. And then they brought on the Angel. He was quite a bit quicker than his pals. The Angel (known so for his surname) bowled a half-tracker that I shaped to hook. There followed a meaty “thock” not of leather on willow but rather Kookaburra six-stitcher connecting flush with right temporal bone. And, helmet-free, down onto the synthetic wicket I went.   Concussion is irre...
