The Australian racing community mourns the tragic passing of apprentice jockey Izzy Neale, one of the promising young riders in New South Wales.
She recorded 88 career victories from 699 rides, including her first metropolitan winner aboard IT’S A TATA in the TAB Highway Handicap at Rosehill in July 2026. Her dedication and passion for horse racing made her a much-loved member of the racing community.
On November 8, 2026, Izzy suffered a tragic fall while riding MARNOO in the Warren Shire Cotton Cup over 1,600 meters at Warren Racecourse in New South Wales. The incident occurred near the 400-meter mark, leaving her with critical injuries. She was airlifted to Dubbo Hospital, where she sadly passed away on November 10, 2026, surrounded by her family and loved ones.
Her family also shared that through organ donation, Izzy would give others the chance of life, leaving behind a legacy of compassion even in her passing.
The Philippine racing community joins the Australian racing fraternity in mourning the loss of a fellow jockey and horsewoman.
