Jockey, Luke Nolan, was on cloud 9 after being acclaimed with an excellent ride to take out the Schweppes Oaks, per medium of Abbey Marie, trained by Michael Kent.

However, success had a short duration, in the following race his mount, Miss Promiscuity, clipped the heels of another runner catapulting Nolan out of the saddle into the path of Pittsburgh Flyer, causing multiple injuries after being galloped upon.

Nolan was rushed to Royal Adelaide Hospital, as it has turned out he will be out of the saddle for quite some time, but is expected to make a full recovery.

He had only returned to riding after a break of a few months, recovering after a back injury, and had recently been riding in great form.
