Broadway Boy jockey injuries confirmed after being rushed to hospital | Racing | Sport




Jockey Tom Bellamy has broken his wrist after suffering a nasty fall on Broadway Boy in the 2025 Grand National. The horse was treated by the veterinary team on the track and has since returned to his stables where he will undergo further examinations.

Broadway Boy fell at the 25th fence, catapulting Bellamy off of his back and onto the deck. The jockey was then whisked away to the Aintree University Hospital for further examinations. According to ITV Racing pundit Matt Chapman, Bellamy has broken his wrist.

He followed up his message by insisting that the jockey ‘will be back’, though a spell on the sidelines certainly awaits the jockey after taking such a heavy fall and sustaining such a limiting injury.

Bellamy had endured a tricky few days at Aintree, with all three of his other rides – Moon Rockey, Soul Icon and Helnwein – all struggling on Ladies Day (Friday) prior to his Grand National accident on Saturday afternoon.

There has been a positive update on Broadway Boy since the £1million race, with the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) confirming that Nigel Twiston-Davies’ stable star had received extensive treatment by the team at Aintree.

They also noted that Celebre D’Allen had similarly received the same care after collapsing on the course. The BHA tweeted: “Both horses received immediate and extensive treatment by the vets, also calling on the first class facilities and various teams on site. This treatment and assessment will continue into the evening.”

Jockey Micheal Nolan has since received a 10-day suspension for his ride on Celebre D’Allen, with the stewards report revealing that they had ruled that he had continued to ride the gelding despite him ‘having no more to give and was clearly losing ground after the second-last fence’.

Celebre D’Allen went on to jump the final fence before collapsing. He was treated by the veterinary team on the track before walking to a horse ambulance for further checks. The 13-year-old then headed back to his stables for further checks.

Willie Mullins stole the show over the course of the three days at Aintree, training five of the first seven horses home in the Grand National – including winner Nick Rockett, who was ridden to victory by his son Patrick.
