Vana to ride with a broken ankle

An X-ray has shown that Josef Vana junior broke his ankle in two places in a fall at Merano last Sunday. He still wants to ride the favourite Alpha Two in the Gran Premio at Merano on September 29th.

The two Vana-trained runners, Alpha Two and Imprezer, are combined in the betting in Italy, and are expected to start as the favourite.
