Jockey Izzy Neale in Critical Condition in Hospital After Warren Fall
Racing NSW postponed Monday’s Scone meeting after 22-year-old Izzy Neale remained in critical condition following a fall at Warren.
On Sunday, 22-year-old apprentice jockey Izzy Neale suffered a critical injury during the Cotton Cup at Warren Racecourse when her horse Marnoo knuckled over near the 400m mark.
Fellow rider Diego Montes de Oca was dislodged from Shadow Dane with a suspected broken foot, while Marnoo was euthanized after suffering a 'near foreleg injury,' according to Racing NSW Stewards.
Following consultation with jockeys and trainers, Racing NSW postponed Monday's scheduled race meeting at Scone, Neale's home track, to support the racing community during this crisis.
After being airlifted to Dubbo Hospital where she remains with family, Racing NSW confirmed Neale 'lost consciousness,' prompting widespread prayers from the Australian Jockeys' Association and the community.
Indentured to Scone trainer Scott Singleton, the Merriwa native has secured 88 winners since February 2024, including 11 rides in Sydney and a victory at Rosehill.
