CRACK JOCKEY DUNCAN HAS A BROKEN NECK
As a result of X-ray examinations made during the week it has been established .that W. Duncan, Victoria’s crack jockey who fell at Epsom (Melbourne) races the other day, has a broken neck. His neck is also dislocated. The examination showed that one of the vertebrae had been broken, but the break was not serious enough to cause death. The spinal cord, however, is not affected. Further attempts to relieve the dislocation of the neck are to be made, and it is hoped that they will be successful.
.Duncan’s condition is serious, but is by no means critical.
