Young Australian jockey dies after fall during race

Jockey Izzy Neale. November 13, 2026 SYDNEY, Australia (AFP) — A young Australian jockey has died after falling heavily during a race over the weekend, her family said. Izzy Neale, 22, was taking part in the Cotton Cup at Warren on Sunday when her horse fell, and she was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition. In a statement shared by Racing NSW on Tuesday, her family said Neale had since died. “It is with deep sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Izzy,” the family said. “Izzy rode horses before she could walk. Her love of horses was a lifelong passion that, more recently, had grown into a love of racing.” Local media reported her horse Marnoo was euthanised after suffering an injury. The Australian Turf Club said it was “deeply saddened” by Neale’s passing. “A talented young rider with a bright future, Izzy’s passion for horses and racing will always be remembered,” it said. “Our heartfelt condolences go out to Izzy’s family, friends and the entire racing community.” KINGSTON, Jamaica—Member of Parliament for St Andrew East Rural Juliet Holness has told supporters of the governing Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) to bloc...
