Jockey Lee Horner is being taken to The Royal Melbourne Hospital with a head injury after a fall during the Grand National Steeplechase at Ballarat on Sunday, as reported by the Victorian Jockeys Association.

Horner fell from his mount, Sky Hero, following an incident on the final lap of the race. The same incident also caused Mighty Oasis to fall, and Bell Ex One, ridden by Will Gordon, was brought down as well.

Will Gordon has been taken to Ballarat Base Hospital with a suspected shoulder injury.
