O'Connor suffers injury at Thurles Jockey Matt O'Connor has suffered a suspected fracture to his left collar-bone following a fall at Thurles today. O'Connor, who has recently returned to race-riding having suffered serious head injuries in a fall at Thurles in March, was riding Zaarito in the 2m beginners' chase when his mount fell at the second last fence. The conditional jockey was subsequently taken to Kilkenny hospital for x-rays.
