Moore was hurt when his mount Bench Marker was brought down at the last in the Clonoulty Handicap Hurdle won by Supreme Steel.

He was later taken to hospital for further checks, leading to a short delay to the fifth race.

Doctor Cormac Mehigan said: "Jonathan Moore has been taken away to hospital via helicopter and it appears he is to be sent to Limerick University Hospital. He has a pelvic injury which needs scans."
