Sa chute fatale à 22 ans met fin à une carrière prometteuse
Australian jockey Izzy Neale died from her injuries after a crash during a race in Australia. Her horse, severely injured, had to be euthanized.
The horse racing world is mourning Izzy Neale. The Australian jockey died at just 22 years old after a fall from her horse last weekend in New South Wales. Her family announced her death on Tuesday in a statement released by Racing NSW. "It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Izzy, surrounded by her family and friends," the statement read.
The young woman suffered a serious head injury after a fall 400 meters from the finish line at Warren Racecourse, also involving another jockey, Diego Montes de Oca, who escaped with a suspected broken foot. Izzy Neale was airlifted to Dubbo Hospital, where she remained in critical condition until her death.

A "talented young rider with a promising future"
“Izzy was riding before she could even walk. Her love for horses was a lifelong passion, which more recently had evolved into a passion for horse racing,” her family said in tribute. Her loved ones also announced that her organs would be donated to give “others a chance at life.” The Australian Turf Club, for its part, paid tribute to a “talented young rider with a bright future.”
His horse Marnoo was also seriously injured in the accident. Hit in a front leg, he had to be euthanized.
