O’Connor is sidelined for the final month of the season after breaking his leg in a fall at Dawston yesterday, a repeat of an injury he picked up 15 months ago, but despite this he says that he remains in good spirits.
O’Connor has won 70 races this year, giving him a lead of 18 over nearest challenger Jamie Codd and says he’s keeping fingers crossed that this will be enough to get him over the line
