Shortall set for absence after Down Royal fall Shane Shortall looks set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a suspected broken collarbone at Down Royal this evening. The promising claimer has enjoyed a fine summer including victory on Road To Riches in the Galway Plate. He rode a double at Bellewstown last night and had also claimed the feature event on this evening's card aboard Pires. His mount in the Walkers Snacks Handicap Hurdle, Rockshandy, took a crashing fall at the third last flight. Initial reports suggested the 5lb claimer had broken his right collarbone.
