Bellewstown was abandoned on Tuesday after Dylan Browne McMonagle was taken to hospital following a fall on day one of the track's 300th anniversary.
Racing at Bellewstown was abandoned on Tuesday evening as jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle was hospitalised in Drogheda after a fall in the opening race of the Co Meath track’s 300th anniversary meeting.
The 23 year-old was sent crashing to the turf when his mount Mosel fell a furlong from home in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden while mounting a challenge. The second race went off around 30 minutes late after ground staff sanded areas of concern on the track. That one-mile handicap then saw two more falls, in an area seemingly unconnected to the one that affected Browne McMonagle.
A slight stumble in the first race had come in a similar area, and the stewards pulled the rest of the card.
"Having reviewed the footage and considered the observations, as well as the remedial work carried out following Race 1, the Raceday Stewards, in the interest of safety for both horse and rider, made the decision to abandon the remainder of the card under the provisions of Rule 10. " Emmet McNamara of the Irish Jockeys Association told Racing TV: “I was down there with him soon after he got his fall and our thoughts are with him.
