Thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends of James McNeile.
A statement from the IJF mentioned the jockey after a bad fall in the Open maiden did not recover from his injuries.

Praise indeed need to go to the medical services and those of the air ambulance who were very quick on the scene to give every attendance to James.
In fact to all the teams that look after jockey and equines need to be praised, this is a tough sport, without these professionals in the amateur and professional ranks no racing could take place.
The stewards and officials at Larkhill acted with great thought and dignity throughout.
Sam Davies-Thomas mentioned James would not have wanted racing a sport he loved for many years to have stopped on Saturday
