Racing: Fall knocks out Williamson

Norman Williamson was taken to hospital in Dublin yesterday following a fall from the Tom Taaffe-trained Arctic Buck in a steeplechase at Leopardstown.

Dr Walter Halley, the Irish Turf Club medical officer, said: "He was initially unconscious but had come round when I got down to the fence."

Williamson was taken by ambulance to St Vincents Hospital where a spokeswoman said last night: ''His injuries are very minor. He's fine and he's going home.''
