AUSTRALIAN jockey Izzy Neale has been airlifted to hospital after losing consciousness following a bad fall at Warren racecourse.
It wasn’t only Neale who was impacted, fellow jockey Diego Montes de Oca was also unseated and injured.
The accident happened roughly two furlongs in to the 1m contest.
Neale was aboard Marnoo, while Montes de Oca was riding Shadow Dane when the incident happened.
Neale was unconscious and Montes de Oca reportedly regained consciousness while still on the track.
The grim fall resulted in death for Marnoo, who suffered a serious foreleg injury.
Racing New South Wales confirmed both jockeys needed hospital treatment, with Neale airlifted from the racecourse.
Montes de Oca was transported to Dubbo hospital for further treatment to a foot injury, and appears to have come away luckier than colleague Neale.
Following the incident, Warren racecourse stewards opted to abandon the final race of the day.
Fans have reached out on social media to show their support and concern for Neale.
One wrote: “Devastating news. Thoughts and prayer for Izzy and Diego, as well as their family, friends and all involved.”
Another added: “Thoughts & Prayers for Izzy Neale.”
