Daniel Moor has joined the long list of injured Victorian jockeys with the lightweight rider sidelined for the rest of the week at least with a chest injury.

Moor’s manage Dave Barry said the 36-year-old was sore on Tuesday morning following a track gallop at Flemington after hurting what the jockey thought was a rib in a barrier incident at Swan Hill last Friday.

“He had one (Demando) play-up at the gates at Swan Hill in the last race and got back to he rooms and thought he might have broken a rib or something so he spent that night in Swan Hill hospital,” Barry said.

“He got the all-clear here were no breaks but when he jumped on a horse this morning there is still something definitely wrong there.

“He’s going back to the doctor today for another opinion to try and find out what it is but he won’t be riding through to Saturday and we’ll hopefully have more of a guide today as to when he’ll be right.

“The last couple of days he felt fine doing normal things but then it was a different story when he got on a horse.”

Victorian jockeys have been in the wars in recent weeks with injuries in recent weeks to apprentices Laura Lafferty and Carleen Hefel.

Both riders were stood down for a mandatory 12 days on the concussion rule and neither are likely to be ready to ride again until next month.

Currently also on the sidelines are Dwyane Dunn, who is still overcoming a neck injury; Michael Walker, who has a list of serious injuries that will keep him out for the rest of the year and Jarrod Fry, who is hoping to be back by the end of the season following a heel fracture.

Jordan Childs, who fractured a shoulder at The Valley in February, returns to trackwork at Caulfield for the first time on Wednesday.

Teo Nugent is recovering well from a fractured leg sustained at Cranbourne in May and is hopeful of a return to work by the end of the month.
