Australian jockey Izzy Neale, 22, died after a fall during a race at Warren Racecourse in New South Wales on Sunday, her family announced on Tuesday. Neale was dislodged from her horse Marnoo and airlifted to Dubbo hospital, where she later died of her injuries. Her family and Racing NSW said through organ donation she would give others the chance of life. Marnoo was euthanised after a serious leg injury, and the rest of the Cotton Cup meeting was abandoned. A second rider, Diego Montes de Oca, suffered minor foot injuries and has been discharged from hospital. Neale was an apprentice who rode 88 winners in her career. The Australian Turf Club called her a talented young rider with a bright future, and trainer John Thompson, for whom she worked, paid tribute to her. Her family asked for privacy as they come to terms with the loss.
