Overview

• The Victorian Jockeys’ Association said Prebble had spinal surgery at The Alfred Hospital, with his condition being monitored and his family requesting privacy.
• Ambulance Victoria treated him for mid to upper body injuries and flew him to the Melbourne trauma center in serious condition.
• The 23-year-old was dislodged about 700 metres from the finish in the day’s final race when Pulveriser appeared to clip heels and fall.
• Stewards adjourned their inquiry pending further evidence, and a post‑race veterinary exam found minor lacerations to Pulveriser’s near‑fore elbow with a clearance required before the horse races again.
• Prebble has 123 winners from 1,125 rides, recently won Victoria’s apprentices rising‑star series, and posted a Flemington treble.
