Leading jockey airlifted to hospital in critical condition after race fall

Victorian jockey Dean Holland has been airlifted to a Melbourne hospital in a critical condition after a horror fall at Donald racecourse.

Holland was riding the Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained three-year-old Headingley in the first race, which came down at the top of the home straight.

The fall also brought down another horse, Time To Rumble, ridden by Alana Kelly.

Thankfully, Kelly was able to get to her feet and walk back to the jockeys room.

In March, Holland broke a 13-year Group 1 winning drought when partnering Godolphin filly In Secret to win the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington.
