Champion jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle faces an extended period of recuperation after being hospitalized following a fall from his mount in the opening race at Bellewstown on Tuesday evening.
The racing meet was subsequently abandoned after just two races due to three horses slipping on the track's surface. McMonagle fell from his mount Mosel in the opening maiden, leading to a delay in racing as he was examined. He was then transported to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, but was conscious and able to move all his limbs.
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's chief medical officer, Dr. Jennifer Pugh, confirmed that Browne McMonagle would be kept in the hospital overnight for further assessment and observation, and although he is expected to make a full recovery, he will be out of action for a number of weeks. The abandonment of the racing meet was a significant setback for Bellewstown's executive, who were celebrating the track's 300th anniversary of racing.
Racing is also scheduled to take place at Bellewstown over jumps tomorrow, but the incidents from Tuesday will need to be reviewed first. Derby-winning jockey Emmet McNamara, secretary of the Irish Jockeys Association, provided an update on Browne McMonagle to Racing TV, expressing his confidence in the jockey's recovery.
McNamaga also praised the efforts of Bellewstown's team in trying to ensure the safety of the horses and riders, but ultimately, the decision to abandon the racing meet was made in the interest of safety. Browne McMonagle has had a remarkable season so far, with notable wins in the Epsom and Curragh Oaks, and a spectacular five-timer on Saturday that took him to 61 winners for the season, just four behind the leading jockey Billy Lee
