A JOCKEY has fallen from her horse mid-race at the Darwin Turf Club during Ladies’ Day on Wednesday afternoon.
Apprentice hoop Jade Hampson, 18, fell from the Tayarn Halter-trained Ima Puppet during race four at Ladies’ Day at Fannie Bay.
The horse crossed the finish line without a rider while the jockey was taken from the track in an ambulance.
She was released a short time later with no serious injuries.
Hampson launched her riding career in April this year riding four-year-old mare Pointo’s Pick in the Bet365 Odds Drift Protector Maiden Plate, the opening event on the Darwin program.
She went on to finish second in two other races during that meet.
