Spinal Injury for Delpech

Anthony Delpech has suffered a spinal injury in his fall at Turffontein in Saturday. 

This news was released by his agent Deez Dayanand. He states the following... 

Sad news, after all the tests and specialist medical opinion, Anthony has been diagnosed with a disc herniation (known as a slipped disc) and a damaged spinal cord and will undergo an operation tomorrow morning. Whilst it's devastating news, like a true CHAMPION he remains positive and thanks his family, friends and racing fans for their well wishes and support. His wife, Candice, apologies for not responding to all the messages that they've received as it's just not possible but she assures you all that Anthony will get to read each and every message when he'll be rehabilitating back home. Also, whilst the family are overwhelmed with the support, they kindly request some privacy during this trying time and updates will be posted by Candice when necessary. Let's put our hands together and pray for his recovery.
