Jockey rushed to hospital and racing delayed after 'nasty' parade ring incident at Punchestown
A jockey has been rushed to hospital after a scary incident in the parade ring. Jake Coen required medical attention after being unseated before the first race at Punchestown on Saturday but was 'conscious and talking'. Racing at the Irish track was delayed while the jumps jockey was treated. Coen was set to ride the Gordon Elliott-trained Arch Empire in the 2m novice hurdle, but the horse was withdrawn after unseating its rider. The medical crew on-track were quick on the scene and Coen, who was booked for two more rides on Saturday, was taken to hospital for further assessment. Taking to X, the IHRB confirmed the slight delay, which lasted around 10 minutes, while Dr Jennifer Pugh, Irish Racing's chief medical officer, provided an update. 'Jake Coen has been stood down following a fall on the way to the start of race one at Punchestown,' she said in a brief statement. 'Jake has been transferred to Tallaght University Hospital for further assessment but was conscious and talking leaving the racecourse.' Racing TV presenter Kevin O'Ryan said: 'Jake is moving everything and he is talking and fully conscious, which he has been from the word go. 'He has been taken to Tallaght Hospital as a precautionary measure. But he is fully conscious and moving everything after that nasty incident.' Coen's other rides on Saturday will now go elsewhere while he is treated. It is not currently clear whether he will return to take his further four rides on Sunday.
