JOCKEY Niall McCullagh is hoping to be back riding by the end of July or early August.

He suffered a fracture to his left fibula a few weeks ago and rode with it for about a week and explained: “I was riding in a sprint handicap at Tipperary on July 19th and, when I was about to pull up, the horse jinked as he was crossing the road and I knew straight away that I was in trouble.”
