Nursing a slew of injuries from a nasty fall at Sha Tin last Saturday, Harry Bentley has been quick to start rehabilitation with a goal of returning to riding at the start of next season in September.
The British jockey suffered a fractured forearm, fractured shoulder blade and five broken ribs after falling from Smiling Falcon when the galloper injured his left front leg and fell early in race six.
Bentley was taken to Union Hospital and underwent surgery on Sunday to insert a plate into his left forearm.
“I had my first day of physio the day after surgery on my arm, so I’ve started the process of getting things back on track,” Bentley said.
“It was obviously one of those things you never hope you’re involved in, but we know the dangers of the job and these things happen, so you’ve just got to dust yourself off and get back in the plate really.
