Injury news will be the main story today

Despite initial optimism Barry Geraghty has now accepted that he won't be ready for Cheltenham ..........he suffered 6 broken ribs and a punctured lung on Saturday

Meanwhile George Baker was seriously injured when his horse was brought down in a race on the ice at St Moritz. After being treated on track for 45 minutes he was airlifted to a trauma unit and put in an induced coma. Later reports confirmed that he was awake and the brain scans were positive. The meeting was abandoned and future racing must be in doubt. A hole was found in the ice and it's not the first time recently that parts of the course have been unsafe.

It's a dangerous game !

all the best to both of them
