Izzy Neale jockey race fall, Digi Mart USA News (Warren, New South Wales, Australia): Apprentice jockey Izzy Neale remains in critical condition after being airlifted to hospital on Sunday following a fall.
The 22-year-old and fellow rider Diego Montes de Oca were both dislodged from their mounts, Maroo and Shadow, during a race at Warren. Maroo was later euthanised after suffering a near foreleg injury.
Racing NSW confirmed that Neale had “lost consciousness” after the incident and was flown to Dubbo Hospital. Montes de Oca suffered a broken foot.
In a statement on Monday morning, the governing body confirmed that the scheduled race meeting at Scone had been called off. The statement said the decision followed the serious race fall involving Neale at Warren the previous day.
“Izzy remains in Dubbo Hospital in a critical condition, with her family by her side,” the statement said. “The thoughts and heartfelt support of Racing NSW and the entire community are with Izzy, her family, friends and colleagues during this extremely difficult time.”
Neale has won 88 races from 699 career starts in her young career.
