Denbeigh Wade is back home recuperating after a nasty incident in the final race at St Arnaud on Sunday.
Wade, who was partnering the Michael Gadsden-trained Markleigh Caz, was one of three drivers who fell to the ground during the early stages of the St Arnaud HRC Committee Pace.
The 29-year-old was subsequently transported to hospital in Bendigo, where she remained overnight.
Gadsden reported that Wade was released from care on Monday morning with no sign of any breaks or fractures.
Darby McGuigan, who was driving the Trevor Dummett-prepared My Justice, and Michael Bellman, who was steering his horse Caesarion, also fell during the incident but escaped without any serious problems.
The St Arnaud HRC Committee Pace was declared a no-race and all horses examined by veterinarians were cleared of any major injuries.
“Horses involved in the fall, Markleigh Caz, My Justice and Caesarion, were administered first aid by the officiating veterinarians and cleared of any significant injuries,” Harness Racing Victoria’s Deputy Chairman of Stewards Nicholas Murray said.
“However, given the treatment administered by the vets, the respective horses (Markleigh Caz, My Justice and Caesarion) were stood down from racing for seven days and Caesarion also until a veterinary clearance has been provided.”
