Johnny Burke faces a spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken arm during Saturday's Grand National at Aintree.
The Cork jockey suffered the injury after parting company with his mount Sam Brown at the 15th fence in the marathon contest.
He was taken to hospital immediately after the race where it was confirmed that he had broken his lower arm.

But the popular rider, who is also a keen race caller, managed to pose for a selfie in A&E with his partner Frankie Rowles on Saturday night.
Sharing a photo with Burke on Twitter, she wrote: "Thank you for all your lovely messages about J. A broken arm and a few scrapes to the face. Yes… I was a little over-dressed for a Saturday night in A&E."
Burke's injury comes just weeks after his father Liam became the oldest winning jockey in 100 years when he guided Teuchters Glory to victory in a bumper at Limerick.
Well wishes have been pouring in on social media for Burke since news emerged of the injury.
Galway racecourse wrote: "Great news. Sending our best from the team in Galway."
Someone else added: "All the best to him, hope he makes a swift recovery."
Another comment read: "Pleased to see you’re ok Johnny. Hope the broken arm fixes up quick and strong for you dude. Had me worried yesterday!!"
