Sun 7 Sep 2025 Two jockeys were hurt during a race in York today (Sunday).<\/p>\n Jim Crowley and Trevor Whelan were taken to hospital with suspected lower-leg injuries.<\/p>\n It happened during the feature Sky Bet Starman Garrowby Stakes which started at 4.30pm.<\/p>\n Crowley was riding the William Haggas-trained big-race favourite Almeraq when, short of room just over a furlong out, he clipped heels and came down.<\/p>\n The horse rolled over Crowley but Henry Candy\u2019s Tiger Bay following behind had nowhere to go and was brought down, also sending Whelan into the turf.<\/p>\n Both horses escaped largely unscathed but Crowley and Whelan were treated on the track for some time before being taken to Leeds General Infirmary. <\/p>\n The final race was delayed as a result.<\/p>\n William Derby, clerk of the course and chief executive at York Racecourse, said: \u201cBoth jockeys were conscious and talking.<\/p>\n \u201cThe assessment that I\u2019ve got, although they will need further assessment, is that they have lower limb injuries. Trevor Whelan to his ankle and Jim Crowley to his lower leg. That\u2019s the information I have at this stage.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth horses are back in the stables and largely OK with a few bruises.\u201d<\/p>\n The incident happened after thousands of people packed into the racecourse for the YorkMix Family Raceday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sun 7 Sep An ambulance on York Racecourse on Sunday.
