One of Ireland's best young jump jockeys, Kieran Kelly, remains in intensive care in Beaumont Hospital in Dublin this morning after suffering serious head injuries in a fall at Kilbeggan on Friday evening.
He fell from the Dessie Hughes-trained Balmy Native in the Joe Cooney Memorial Handicap Chase and was kicked on the head before the horse rolled on top of him.
Paramedics were quickly on the scene and he was rushed to Tullamore Hospital before being transferred to Beaumont.
The 25-year-old Kildare man is on a life-support machine at the hospital, where his condition is described as critical.
