THE racing industry is in mourning, shocked by the news of the passing of 22-year-old jockey Izzy Neale following a race fall on Sunday in New South Wales.

Riding at Warren, just over six hours north-west of Sydney, the much loved apprentice came off Marnoo in the Warren Shire Cotton Cup after the gelding sustained a fatal foreleg injury near the 400 metre mark. Unconscious, she was tranferred by air to Dubbo Hospital.
