Jockeys Bryan Murphy and Jake Duffy taken to hospital after race fall on Corowa Cup day

Murphy was released from Albury hospital early on Monday after undergoing scans to investigate a cervical spine injury.

But fellow rider Jake Duffy wasn't so fortunate as he suffered a suspected broken elbow after also falling in the same race while trying to avoid Murphy and the horse he was riding, Miss Golden Globe.

Southern Districts Racing Association chief steward John Davidson confirmed Murphy's mount suffered compound fractures to both front canon bones in the early stages of race six.

Both jockeys were taken to Corowa hospital with Murphy undergoing initial X-rays before being transferred to Albury.

The 47-year-old said he planned to have a follow-up visit to the doctor in coming days and hoped to be back riding this weekend.

“I've been given the all clear and there are no breaks we know of,” he said.

“Jake was on the ground and seemed to be in a bit more agony than I was so I told the ambos to go to him before me.

“But when I said I felt a bit sore in the neck they just took the necessary precautionary measures.”

Murphy and Duffy, who was due to ride in the Adelaide Cup on Monday, were not the only NSW jockeys to suffer injuries on Sunday.

At Wellington, apprentice Brock Ryan broke his collarbone after falling from a horse after crossing the finish line and Winona Costin snapped both wrists when her mount bucked at the start of the race.

Murphy said his fall was the latest in a string of race mishaps.

“I've had a bad run the last three years,” he said.

“There's been about five or six incidents which has restricted me to riding about seven months in those three years.”

Meanwhile, Mr Davidson confirmed an inquiry into the disqualification of Corowa Cup pre-race favourite, Ashdam, had been adjourned.

Connections were stripped of the race when apprentice Chelsea MacFarlane weighed in 600 grams lighter than required.

“The gear she said she weighed out with was the gear that came back, but 600 grams light,” Mr Davidson said.

“The rule doesn't give us any discretion.

“We can allow up to half a kilo in lieu of the bridle, but anything over half a kilo, that's it.”
