The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) is among those to send well-wishes to popular trainer Bill Turner, who is in hospital after reportedly suffering a serious accident at home on Monday.

Turner, 78, a former jockey and as a trainer synonymous with the Brocklesby Stakes at Doncaster, having won the traditional first race of the Flat turf season six times, suffered a fractured skull in the accident, according to Sky Sports Racing and the Racing Post.

Based in Sigwells, Somerset, Turner's most recent winner of the Brocklesby was Mick's Yer Man in 2013.

“Everybody at the BHA sends our best wishes to Bill Turner following his accident yesterday,” read a statement from the BHA posted on social media. “Our thoughts are with his family, friends and team.”
