Injured apprentice making progress
Danny Frye, who suffered two fractured ribs, a punctured lung and concussion when his mount, Treasure Time, fell about 800 m from home in the Otaio Plate at Riccarton last Saturday, is hoping to be discharged from hospital within the next few days. The Rangiora-based apprentice's employer, Carol McCarthy, said yesterday that the lung was drained at the week-end and the lad now seems to be progressing satisfactorily. This latest fall was Frye’s second within the last two months. He had only resumed race-riding last Saturday week after being sidelined for six weeks when he
fractured an arm in a fall at race trials held at Washdyke late in September. His latest. injury is also shocking luck from the point of view that he will have to miss riding in the Air N.Z. Apprentice Special to be run at the Auckland Racing Club’s meeting at Ellerslie next Saturday. No other rider was involved in the fall of Treasure Time. According to the official report of the Canterbury Jockey Club’s judicial committee the mare fell after accidentally clipping the heels of another runner. Danny Crozier will substitute for Frye as Canterbury’s representative in the Apprentice Special on Saturday.
