Tony McCoy faces a spell on the sidelines after sustaining broken ribs at Taunton on Friday.
McCoy suffered a final-fence fall aboard Laudatory in the Steve Logan Memorial County Contractors Handicap Hurdle.
The 16-time champion jockey gave up his final ride of the day, Hopeful Start, in the totetrifecta Handicap Chase.
A shaky-looking McCoy was later taken by ambulance on a stretcher to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton.
Clerk of the course Michael Trickey said: “He had some morphine and they’ve had a further look and taken him to hospital.”
He later confirmed he had sustained broken ribs.
“Broke a few ribs so not too bad and hopefully back to work very soon,” he tweeted.
“Just need the doctor to let me out of the hospital now and I’ll be happy.”
