Overview
- The fall happened in race six at Warren when the Kieren Hazelton-trained horse Marnoo knuckled over near the 400m mark and dislodged Izzy Neale and Diego Montes de Oca.
- Neale was unconscious at the scene, was airlifted to Dubbo Hospital and remains in a critical condition with family at her bedside.
- Marnoo sustained a near foreleg injury and was euthanised on track, and Montes de Oca was taken to Dubbo by ambulance with a suspected broken foot before being assessed and discharged with soft tissue injuries.
- Officials abandoned the remaining race on the card and, following consultation with jockeys and trainers, Racing NSW postponed Monday’s meeting at Scone.
- Racing NSW will open an inquiry into the fall as the racing community rallies around Neale, a 22-year-old apprentice from Merriwa with 88 career winners who is indentured to trainer Scott Singleton.
