LOUIS BEUZELIN, apprentice jockey to Sir Michael Stoute, is in intensive care in Barbados after being involved in a car accident early on Saturday morning.
Beuzelin only left Newmarket last Monday to return for a break at his parents home in the West Indies and had been due to take up a riding commitment in Australia this winter.
Beuzelin was unconscious for an hour and half at the scene of the accident and has seven broken ribs, a punctured lung and ruptured spleen.
Ray Cochrane, agent to the 19-year-old, said: "Louis is in intensive care and hassuffered multiple injuries. They have done a brain scan on him and thankfully there is no damage to his brain. It's a shame he can't go to Australia but all that matters is that he makes a full recovery."
Beuzelin rode 25 winnersin Britain this season and enjoyed significant success when partnering Stoute's Desert Creek to win the valuable Betfred Silver Bowl at Haydock in May.
He rode at the last turf meeting of the year at Doncaster on November 7 before his departure where he finished fifth on his final ride of the season.
