Geraghty set for Galway Festival return
Barry Geraghty has been given the all-clear to race at the Galway Festival at the end of the month.
The 37-year-old broke his arm falling from Minella Foru in the Irish Grand National at Punchestown on Easter Monday, and also missed March's Cheltenham Festival with lung and rib injuries he sustained in a fall at Kempton in February.
in 2016, the Meath jockey broke his other arm in a fall at Market Rasen.
"I saw my surgeon Paddy Kenny this morning and he is very pleased with my arm and happy for me to return to race riding next week," Geraghty told www.attheraces.com.
"Having been off for the last three months, it's great to get the all clear, especially with Galway just around the corner.
"The boss [JP McManus] always has a nice team of horses for Galway, so it is great to be back for it."
The Galway Festival begins on 31 July and ends on 6 August.
