Jockey Neale, 22, dies after fall during race

Apprentice jockey Izzy Neale, 22, has died after falling from her horse during a race at Warren Racecourse in Australia on Sunday. Her family said she died from her injuries, and that organ donation would give others a chance of life.

The Cotton Cup meeting was abandoned after the accident, in which Neale’s horse Marnoo sustained a serious leg injury and was euthanised. A second rider, Diego Montes de Oca, suffered minor foot injuries and was discharged from hospital. Neale turned professional in 2024 and rode 88 winners; colleagues and racing authorities paid tribute to her.
