TOP jockey Billy Lee of Ballingarry will be sidelined for this week’s Killarney Festival and the upcoming Galway Extravaganza after he broke a collarbone at Limerick.
He is expected to be out of action for a month.
“Billy has broken his collarbone, but it is a clean break and hopefully he could be back in about four weeks,” said his agent Kevin O’Ryan.
“He’s in good spirits and is looking on the bright side. Typical of Billy he said ‘it could be a lot worse’.”

Lee has ridden 44 winners this season, and despite this setback is still viewed as a serious contender for the Irish Jockeys’ Championship.
