The differing tales of two different jockeys were on display today with announcements concerning their riding futures.
Star apprentice Zac Lloyd is in hospital following a track work fall.
He’s nursing a broken wrist.
On the other side of life’s fickle coin, top NSW provincial hoop Mitchell Bell, is set to make a long-awaited return to race riding.
Bell last rode in a race on 10 April and his last winner was on 4 April.
He has had major surgery receiving a hip replacement. Those around him believe he is ready to return to race riding and is available henceforth for bookings.
His first ride back will be at Newcastle this Friday.
He can ride at 56kg.
As for Lloyd, his star in Queensland racing is rising steadily and appreciably.
He had surgery today on his broken wrist to get tendons and bones aligned so they can heal properly.
