I don’t hate her either.
Just a little annoyed she pulled a horse up on Saturday and clearly cost me about 500 bucks because according to the stewards the horse should’ve clung on for third. |

Hopefully the second report is spot on. Totally typical of Ch7to issue that apparently unsubstantiated earlier bulletin.

Raquel Clark appears to have escaped serious injury following a heavy fall at Morphettville on Saturday.
The 26-year-old was dislodged from Goodgee after finishing fifth on the mare in a 1000-metre race. Goodgee clipped heels and lost her footing approximately 200 metres past the winning post. Clark was unseated from Goodgee who then appeared to roll on top of her. Clark was briefly unconscious but has since responded positively to treatment. Last season’s Adelaide premiership-winning rider has suffered headaches since the accident and will remain under observation overnight in Royal Adelaide Hospital. Clark has won 351 races and registered the biggest win of her career when guiding Dalasan to victory in the G2 Danehill Stakes (1200m) at Flemington on September 14. |

ALL my posts are written as Sci-Fi, no different to an Orson Welles and should not be taken literally. Sci-fi is a genre of Fiction.

Not such good news after all South Australia’s reigning premier jockey Raquel Clark faces an uncertain riding future after suffering a brain injury in a fall. Clark continues to recuperate from the injury she suffered when she fell from a horse after the finish line in a race at Morphettville last month. “They just called it a traumatic brain injury,” Clark told RSN 927. “When I fell the left side of the back of my head was the part that got really damaged. They said they were little bleeds to the brain and it all turns into bruising, is what I can gather from it. “They looked at it and said to me, look a football player has to have three weeks off when they get about three dots of this on their brain, and I had over 30 on my brain. “So they were quite quick to tell me that I will be stood down for a long time.” The 26-year-old admits there is a possibility she may not be able to ride again. “Unfortunately it is a possibility, at the moment,” she said. “But I’ve been too worried about my health to even think too much about that. Of course the doctors have mentioned it to me a little bit. But I’ll focus on getting better and when I’m 100 per cent I’ll make those decisions myself.” Clark said the injury has had an effect on her balance and memory. “The differences have been really big in some circumstances but it’s a bit hard at the same time because I have a body that is ready to go,” she said. “My body could get back on a racehorse tomorrow. It’s just my brain that cannot.” Clark, who is from Tasmania, has starred in South Australian racing in the past couple of years, winning both the state and metropolitan jockeys’ premierships last season. While she admits she has had some emotional moments in recent weeks, the jockey remains positive and says she has an amazing support base of family and friends. “I try and look at things positive,” she said. “I’ve actually got Christmas with the family this year, unlike the last couple, so I’ll just look at all the positives in life, I think.” |

I suppose if you can be positive it can create a wellness, more or less what I meant . |

Star jockey Raquel Clark looks to have called time on her promising career.
Clark, a Tasmanian, made a huge impact on the SA racing scene before suffering bleeding to the brain after a race fall at Morphettville in November 2019. Ongoing health issues and the need for more medical treatment is making it unlikely that Clark will return to the saddle. |
