Hollie Doyle faces several weeks on the sidelines after breaking her elbow in a fall in Wolverhampton on Monday afternoon.
The record-breaking jockey rode the Archie Watson-trained 4/7 favorite The Perfect Crown in a seven-furlong challenge at Dunstall Park when his mount broke on the home bend.
While Doyle walked away from the incident, he went to a specialist on Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury.
Her husband and team-mate Tom Marquand confirmed on Wednesday that Doyle had broken his elbow, with Doyle himself telling Sky Sports Racing he expected “a few weeks”.
“That’s one of the fun things, because you can give a number and you’re going to be wrong every time,” Marquand said.
“Honestly, it’s just to make sure they get it now, because you don’t want to stop in the middle of the summer. It’s frustrating.”
Doyle ended last year with 151 winners, second only to William Buick in total as well as in the Flat jockey championships between May and October.
