Sickening fall mars Hong Kong International Raceday at Sha Tin

A horrible fall in the Hong Kong Sprint has marred the Hong Kong International Raceday at Sha Tin.

Fives horses and jockeys were involved in a horrible fall around the turn in the Hong Kong Sprint which was won by Australian jockey Blake Shinn’s mount Sky Field.

Concerns over the health of jockey Lyle Hewitson after his mount Amazing Star went amiss during the race bringing down and sadly broke two legs as did Naboo Attack whilst Pixie Knight, Danon Smash and Lucky Patch all looked okay.

Zac Purton and Yuichi Fukunaga have been taken to hospital for further observation.

Karis Teetan has been cleared to continue riding.

Our thoughts are with the connections of Amazing Star and Naboo Attack has sustained a serious injury. 🙏 https://t.co/AZP8hhl2iV

Jockey @zpurton will not ride for the remainder of the day. Appeared to grab his arm or hand on getting up after @HKJC_Racing International fall.
