Apprentice jockey Izzy Neale, 22, is in a critical condition in hospital after a fall during a race meeting at Warren in country New South Wales on Sunday. The incident also injured senior jockey Diego Montes de Oca and led to the final race being abandoned; Monday’s meeting at Scone was postponed following consultation with jockeys and trainers.

Neale and Montes de Oca were dislodged near the 400-metre mark in the Warren Shire Cotton Cup, a 1,600-metre race. Montes de Oca was taken to hospital by ambulance with a suspected broken foot, while Neale lost consciousness and remains in Dubbo Hospital with her family. Her horse, Marnoo, suffered a near foreleg injury and was euthanised after the race; Neale has won 88 races from 699 career starts.
