Jump racing's biggest show of the year Cheltenham Festival has started with more than 230,000 punters expected at the Gloucestershire track in four days.
Around 400 horses are expected to race during the week, with about £250 million wagered on them.
Experienced amateur jockey Tom Weston has been airlifted to Southmead Hospital with injuries after his horse, Benbane Head, fell at the 14th fence in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase.
He was attended on the course by doctors and medical personnel and then taken to Cheltenham Racecourse's medical centre before being airlifted to hospital - he was breathing and conscious at the time.
