One of Victoria’s leading jockeys, Ethan Brown, underwent surgery on Saturday night after falling in Saturday’s Group 1 Australian Guineas at Flemington.

Brown fell when aboard tiring leader Maximillius at the 300-metre mark in the $1 million Group 1 when in an incident involving Holymanz, Elliptical, and Amenable close to the running rail.

The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Holymanz also fell, with Melbourne Cup-winning hoop Mark Zahra also being dislodged from his mount.

Zahra avoided injury and was able to fulfil his mount aboard Gentleman Roy in the Group 2 Blamey Stakes.

23-year-old Brown, was transported to Royal Melbourne Hospital following the fall with the fear that the three-time Group 1 winning jockey had suffered severe internal injuries.

Racing Victoria released an update on Brown’s condition on Saturday night.

UPDATE: Ethan Brown has undergone surgery this evening for internal injuries. He will require further surgery, with an update expected tomorrow afternoon. https://t.co/vWw2pvohle
