Racing: Martha's Son on the mend

Hopes rose yesterday that the injury Martha's Son suffered at Huntingdon may not be so bad as first feared.

There had been worries that the 10-year-old might never run again after he was pulled up with a suspected crack in his near-fore in the Peterborough Chase on Tuesday, but X-rays have failed to find any bone damage.

However, Forster's bad luck continued at Chepstow yesterday when Edmond and Donjuan Collonges fell in their respective races - the latter fatally.
