McGillivray was reportedly concussed in the fall but was able to move his legs after regaining consciousness.

Sky Racing reported that, although dazed and confused, McGillivray was talking with ambulance staff prior to being transported.

McGillivray's mount Bel Strider appeared to clip heels and fall forward after looming as a winning chance in the straight.

The Matt Kropp-trained galloper was thankfully able to get to her feet following the incident and was quickly captured by the clerk of the course.


Sounds promising


Back in the saddle tomorrow at Doomben with 7 rides :heart:



That’s an amazing turnaround if he rides. I seriously thought his life was in danger. Have you seen the fall @spargo?

Back in the saddle tomorrow at Doomben with 7 rides :heart:

https://www.punters.com.au/news/mcgillivray-in-neck-brace-after-race-fall_191054/

Jockey Matt McGillivray will be in a neck brace for a fortnight after a fall at the Sunshine Coast.

McGillivray was taken to hospital after falling from Bel Strider at the 150m mark in race six on Wednesday night.

He was knocked unconscious and suffered facial and neck injuries.

Queensland Jockeys Association boss Glen Prentice said McGillivray remained in hospital on Friday but was expected to be discharged at the weekend.

"He is walking around and hopeful of being allowed home shortly," Prentice said.

"When he may be able to return to the saddle is unknown, he is still awaiting a full diagnosis.

"He will have to wear a neck brace for a week or two for head and neck stability."

McGillivray had eight rides at Doomben on Saturday - including Pam O'Neill Stakes favourite Vanna Girl who will now be ridden by Brad Stewart.

He was also on Bellevue Hill in the Group Three Fred Best Classic who will have Ryan Maloney in the saddle.

Stewards have opened an inquiry into the fall but adjourned it until McGillivray is well enough to attend.

McGillivray was riding on a stay of a suspension which would have allowed him to ride in the Group One Stradbroke next week.

We used to have a horse on the farm by the same name so I backed it last start at Stawell last Friday.

Anyway, felt it would have finished closer with clear running but happy to take opinions based on the replay:

I reckon Froggy would like to have that ride over again.

I didn’t get on and just watched the replay. Not sure it was the best horse in the race anyway.

I’ll keep an eye on it but it flattened quickly after an initial decent turn of foot. Not sure
