JOCKEY Michael O’Sullivan is in intensive care following a fall at Thurles on Thursday.
O’Sullivan was riding Wee Charlie for Gerard O’Leary and was one of three fallers at the last in the two-mile Racing Again February 20 Handicap Chase, with two other runners badly hampered and unseating their riders.
