Story summary

Izzy Neale, a 22-year-old apprentice jockey, died on Tuesday after suffering critical injuries in a fall at Warren Racecourse on Sunday. Neale had been riding Marnoo in the Cotton Cup when the horse knuckled over near the 400m mark, causing Neale to fall heavily and become unconscious. She was airlifted to Dubbo Hospital, where she remained in critical condition until her death. Marnoo was euthanized due to a severe foreleg injury.

The incident led Racing NSW to cancel Monday’s race meeting at Scone, Neale's home track. Neale, who started her professional career in February 2024 and had ridden 88 winners, hailed from Merriwa and worked for Scone trainer Scott Singleton. Her family released a statement expressing gratitude for the support received from friends and the racing community.

Neale’s brother, Tommy Neale, expressed his grief on Facebook, stating he couldn't "believe what's happened." The family also noted that through organ donation, Izzy will give others the chance of life, bringing some comfort to them during this difficult time.

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.
