Grylls suffered fractured ribs in the fall and was admitted to Tauranga Hospital McNab injured his ankle and was to have the injury X-rayed on his return home. G. Barkla was badly shaken but Tweedie escaped without injury. Grylls is booked to ride Braless in. the Auckland Cup and McNab is down to ride the Waikato and Benson and Hedges Cup winner, Bahrein.
