Story summary

Apprentice jockey Izzy Neale, 22, died on November 10, 2026, after falling from her horse during the Cotton Cup at Warren Racecourse on Sunday. Neale was airlifted to Dubbo Hospital in critical condition following the fall and remained there until her death. Her horse, Marnoo, sustained a near foreleg injury and was euthanized.

The incident occurred when Marnoo knuckled over near the 400m mark during the 1600m race. Fellow jockey Diego Montes de Oca also fell but suffered only minor injuries to his foot, which required hospitalization. The scheduled Monday meeting at Scone was canceled in response.

Neale had started her professional career in February 2024 and had accumulated 88 wins. She was indentured to trainer Scott Singleton in Scone and hailed from Merriwa in the Upper Hunter region of NSW. Her family thanked Racing NSW, the NSW Jockeys’ Association, and medical staff for their support during this time.

Through organ donation, Neale is giving others a chance at life, bringing some comfort to her loved ones amid this devastating loss.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
