Jack Callan update as young jockey rushed to hospital after heavy fall at Newmarket
Callan was riding Spring Bloom in the Maritime Cargo Services Outperforming The Opposition Handicap when his mount clipped heels around two furlongs from home A young jockey has been taken to hospital after he suffered a heavy fall in a flat race at Newmarket. Teenager Jack Callan was unseated from the Robert Eddery-trained Spring Bloom when the gelding clipped heels. The 4-1 second favourite set out to win the Maritime Cargo Services Outperforming The Opposition Handicap for the second year in a row on Friday evening. Callan, who claims 7lb, was trying to make headway from mid-division when his horse took a tumble around two furlongs from the winning line. "Spring Bloom has unseated the rider," said the commentator. "As Angel Shared leads them inside the final furlong-and-a-half..." The 12-1 chance from Steph Hollinshead's stable remained in front under Dougie Costello, with Rajaking and Equiano Springs close-up for the places. "First and foremost we hope Jack Callan is OK," said Racing TV presenter Anthony Dunkley after the caller had informed viewers of the result. "He took a tumble off Spring Bloom and hopefully we will be able to see shots of him in due course and update you on his wellbeing." Medics were quickly on the scene and took Callan to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, which is 16 miles from the racing circuit. "Jack was stretchered off the track for precautionary reasons," Newmarket's clerk of the course Andrew Morris confirmed to Mirror Racing. "He was conscious and taken to hospital by ambulance for further examination." The British Horseracing Authority stewards report read: "Jack Callan, the rider of Spring Bloom had fallen approximately two furlongs out. Dylan Hogan, the rider of Albert Cee and Sean Levey, the rider of Wheels Of Fire were interviewed and shown recordings of the incident, but Callan was unable to be interviewed owing to his injuries. The enquiry was adjourned to a date to be confirmed." Callan is the son of Group One-winning jockey Neil Callan and holds an apprentice licence for events on the flat. In August 2024, the trainee was studying for his A-levels when he rode his first ever winner on 18-1 chance Longuerue in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Yarmouth. Since that point, Callan's career has taken off, with 18 victories from more than 150 rides in 2025 - including a first opportunity at Royal Ascot. He told ITV Racing how he sat a biology exam the morning before partnering George Boughey's mare Unassuming into 11th place in the Kensington Palace Stakes over the straight mile.

Katie Davis looks to Frankie Dettori for Shergar Cup advice
The 33-year-old shot to international fame after featuring in the Netflix series 'Race For The Crown' and the multiple US stakes-winning rider is eager to capitalise on any advantage she can gain for her British debut. Dettori, who famously went through a seven-race card at Ascot in 1996 and is now riding in the US, offered his help to Davis when the pair crossed paths at Saratoga and Davis will have him on speed dial. She said: 'My plan is to walk the track at least twice. It was nice to hear from Frankie Dettori because he's riding in Saratoga and he's like 'Katie, when you get your entries out, you better call me'. 'I said 'don't you worry, I'll call you', obviously I'm not that stupid. I'm trying to win a race here! 'I breezed two for Wesley (Ward, trainer) on the grass with Frankie, and I was telling Wesley and Frankie and Wesley's like 'you're gonna have a blast, you have to go'. I go 'I wanted to pick your brain' and he said 'I'm not the right person to pick, you gotta pick Frankie'. 'I'll probably What's App him (Dettori), kind of send the photos, let him analyse it. It'll be really nice. I'm really lucky to have him behind me too in this.' Davis rides in five of the six races in the team competition, with the Andrew Balding-trained Miss Information – winner of the Kensington Palace Stakes at the Royal meeting – seemingly her best chance of victory. She said: 'I'm super excited. I'm not nervous at all, it feels right so I'm just looking for a great opportunity and a great experience, and just go from there. 'It looks tough, but I would like to win a race. It's what I said the first year I went into Saratoga and I won seven – I'm not saying I'm going to win the whole thing, but I'd like to win one, think positive!' Davis will compete as part of the Rest of the World team, joining captain Karis Teetan and Australian Hugh Bowman, who previously led the side to victory in 2007. 'I asked why Hugh isn't the captain because he's won one of them and we all started laughing,' said Davis. 'I said 'we're all gonna have fun. let's enjoy it, bring the best out of each other and kind of see where it goes'. 'There's no pressure, it's nice to have teams so you can kind of follow and talk when you're out there and you're next to each other going full speed.' This year's Shergar Cup has undergone a shake-up, with the Ladies team no longer featuring, leaving the Rest of the World to compete with squads from Great Britain and Ireland, Asia and Europe. Female riders will still take leading roles though, with France's Delphine Santiago in the Europe side, while Joanna Mason and Hollie Doyle will both fly the flag for Great Britain and Ireland. Davis' sister Jackie is also a jockey and after her sibling previously met Doyle, she is particularly keen to make a connection with Britain's most successful female rider. She added: 'My sister Jackie has met her, I think she was overseas one year and she raced my sister, and she said 'you're gonna love her, she's just like us'. I really wanted to meet her and obviously I'm going to, so I hope we hit it off. 'It's always nice that there's people in the industry that you can talk to and it's tough being a women.'
