Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 25 Journalists Share Posted March 25 Kerrin McEvoy (red cap) lifting Zapateo to Group 1 victory in The Galaxy Photo: RacingNSW Kerrin McEvoy’s autumn carnival has been cut short due to a serious injury sustained during Golden Slipper Day at Rosehill. The unfortunate incident occurred when McEvoy fell from Tintookie in the Group 3 Birthday Card Stakes (1200m), resulting in a fractured vertebrae, specifically his C6. The fall came after McEvoy piloted the James Cummings-trained Zapateo to victory in The Galaxy (1100m). Despite being conscious when he left the track, the Melbourne Cup-winning jockey faces a four-week hiatus following an upcoming MRI scan on Monday. The injury’s progress will then be reassessed before McEvoy can return to racing action. Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
