BEST wishes for a speedy recovery to Larne trainer Stuart Crawford whose left tibia was fractured when he took a kick from a passing horse while riding on the gallops last week.

As the kick resulted in a broken skin, Stuart had to spend a few days in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast and, as his leg is now in a full cast for six weeks, he has to take things quietly. This could well mean no dancing at his wedding next Saturday but, as his bride to be, Jill Davidson, is a physiotherapist (horses, dogs and humans), she will know how best to get him on his feet.
