Jamie Moore to miss Grand National after breaking leg

Jockey Jamie Moore has insisted that the mental pain of missing the Grand National hurts more than suffering a broken leg.

Moore had been due to ride Al Co, last year's Scottish Grand National winner, at Aintree, but a freak incident at Towcester has left Moore on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.

Overwhelmed by all the messages, proper nice people out there! Thank you. Not in any pain just gutted to miss aintree, that hurts. Thanx

A replacement for Moore isn't expected to be named until Monday.
