A New South Wales coroner has recommended enhanced safety measures for racehorses recovering from injuries, prompted by the tragic death of apprentice jockey Marina Morel. The recommendation followed an inquest examining the circumstances surrounding Morel’s death. The coroner’s findings highlight concerns regarding the assessment and monitoring of horses returning to racing after a period of rehabilitation. Specifically, the inquest focused on whether sufficient safeguards were in place to prevent injuries to jockeys caused by horses with prior injury histories. The recommendations aim to improve the thoroughness of evaluations and potentially reduce the risk of similar incidents. This ruling underscores the importance of prioritizing both jockey and equine safety within the racing industry.
