After a fall from Cresta Start in the Chieftain Fabrics Handicap, top UK jockey Ryan Moore got a broken wrist and will have an indefinite period of rest. As a result of the injury, he missed the opening meeting in the York Festival on Wednesday. Moore wrote in his Betfair column ,"the bad news is that it is third time unlucky and I have broken my left wrist.” "I don't know how long I will be out for, but I can tell you that I am not happy.” The top British rider said the fall was “unavoidable”, saying the track condition in Warwick has contributed with the accident. "I saw an incident like this coming before my fall last night,” Moore said. "In my opinion, the problem was that the grass was far too long and lush, and that can always cause problems, and when I went into the bend on Cresta Star I was never balanced. I had hold of her head but when the favourite came round, I got a bit tight and she lost her back end and slipped . "I don't know the full extent of the problem until I go and see my normal doctor in Oxford, but I'll obviously be out for a while. What really annoys me is that I think it was avoidable."
