Kelsey Hannan Update

Racing SA is pleased to advise that apprentice jockey Kelsey Hannan has been cleared of any serious injury following her fall at Strathalbyn yesterday.

She has been diagnosed with a stable fracture in her C1 vertebrae and has not suffered any spinal cord damage. We anticipate that she will be released from hospital within the next 24 hours.

On behalf of her family and the entire riding group, our thanks go to the team at the Royal Adelaide Hospital for their outstanding care of Kelsey and to the wider racing community for their messages of love and support.

Following a thorough examination of Iva Dream on course, the mare was found to have sustained a few minor lacerations. Fortunately, there are no immediate concerns for her welfare. As a precautionary measure, she will require veterinary clearance before her next race engagement. We remain committed to ensuring the well-being of all our equine athletes and appreciate the diligence of our veterinary team.
