Broken collarbone rules Cheltenham hero Bryony Frost out of the Grand National

The 23-year-old jockey won’t be fit to ride at Aintree on 6 April.

BROYNY FROST WON’T feature in next month’s Aintree Grand National, it was confirmed today. 

The 23-year-old claimed the Ryanair Chase on board Frodon at the Cheltenham Festival a week ago. 

However, she suffered a fall at Southwell earlier this week and x-rays have revealed a fractured collarbone. 

“I’ve been taken aback by all the support I’ve received since Monday,” Frost told the Jockey Club.

“It makes you aware how many people are running with you when you hold out your hand and see who reaches out to help and pull you up.

“The racing world is an extremely caring one. Although we are all strangers within it we become a family when we need each other and that’s the beauty of it.

Yesterday I went to see an extremely good specialist in Cardiff where my x-ray results have shown that I’ve fractured my clavicle.

“I suffered a fracture previously which healed well under pressure.

“My body’s response from that fracture makes me positive for when I go back for my assessment in a fortnight’s time and a swift return.”
