Meyler gets all clear but set for short spell on sidelines after Thurles fall

Donagh Meyler is "pretty sore" but has been given the all-clear from Cork University Hospital after being airlifted there following his nasty fall from Jetango at Thurles on Thursday.

Jetango came down at the first in the 2m4f handicap chase which was won by favourite King Ferdinand and was stable and conscious when sent to hospital for further examination.

Jennifer Pugh, the chief medical officer for the IHRB, delivered some good news on Friday. She said: "Donagh got the all clear in hospital but is pretty sore so will be out for a short while."

Wincanton's Sunday fixture cancelled due to hard ground

Sunday's fixture at Wincanton that was due to be part of ITV4's coverage has been cancelled due to hard ground.

The meeting had already been set for a 9am inspection on Thursday morning but the rain forecast for Wednesday did not materialise.

Clerk of the course Daniel Cooper said: "Rain was meant to start overnight last night through to the weekend, but it hasn't happened. We would have wanted to have seen some by now because there was a 9am inspection planned on Thursday morning, but we pulled it forward to today. We're about two weeks behind with rainfall figures and it made the decision relatively easy."

The BHA has confirmed an additional seven-race card will be staged at Ffos Las on Sunday, with entries closing at midday on Thursday, while another meeting will be held at Chepstow next Wednesday following the cancellation of Taunton's fixture on the same day.

Film promoting weighing room respect and inclusion released

A new film promoting respect and inclusion in the weighing room has been released this week as part of a series following the introduction of a BHA code of conduct this month.

The film, which is titled Respect And What We Say, was released on Wednesday by JETS and the PJA and focuses on the type of language used in the weighing room, how jockeys conduct themselves with each other and how everyone can feel respected.

A second film, Inclusion And What We Can Do, will be released on Thursday focusing on what jockeys can do to celebrate difference and create a more inclusive and diverse environment, regardless of gender, sexuality or ethnicity.

The BHA's code of conduct came into force on October 8 and aims to ensure people feel safe and supported, with pledges to protect against bullying, harassment and abuse – including on social media.

The PJA's chief executive Ian McMahon said: "Respect and inclusion are key values in society and we hope these films will be a useful catalyst for jockeys to continue the discussion about these issues between themselves."
