Scan Reveals Stress Fracture To Jack Hobbs' Pelvis

Jack Hobbs has been found to have suffered a stress fracture to his pelvis but is expected to make a full recovery and resume racing in the Autumn.

Trainer John Gosden indicated that big end-of-season targets were still on the agenda but a spell of rest and recuperation were programmed for the colt over the next three months.

The pelvic injury explained why Jack Hobbs had not felt right to Buick in the Newmarket race.

Gosden said: "Following light exercise, Jack Hobbs appeared uncomfortable. An ultrasonic scan has shown an undisplaced stress fracture of the near side wing of the ilium."

"Whilst it is unfortunate the horse has suffered an injury there is no reason why he won't return to one hundred percent fitness and health later in the year."
