Breaking: Melbourne Cup winner Half Yours suffers nasty fall in Caulfield Cup
Last year's Melbourne Cup winner, Half Yours, has gone down in a nasty fall late in the Caulfield Cup.
Melbourne Cup winner Half Yours suffered a serious fall during the Caulfield Cup, which was won by Kingswood ridden by Dominic Beddgood. With approximately 200 meters remaining in the 2,400-meter race, Half Yours appeared to make contact with Kings Valley, resulting in a hard impact that sent jockey Mark Zahra to the ground. Ohope Wins, ridden by Jye McNeil, also fell as trainer Tony McEvoy's horse McEvoy Racing was unable to avoid the collision.
Half Yours returned to his stall after the race and was reported to be in good condition by Racing.com, while Zahra and McNeil were both conscious and alert and taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Trainer Tony McEvoy stated that Half Yours had sustained some abrasions but appeared to be in good health overall. The trainer described the injuries as superficial lacerations on Half Yours' arm and hind leg. The final race of the day at Caulfield was delayed due to the incident.
