A tragic fall during track work claimed the life of 30-year-old jockey Marina Morel in February 2022, sparking urgent calls for clearer rules on reporting horse injuries. The inquest revealed a pre-existing fracture in her horse, Lina’s Choice, which had returned to training too soon after a ligament tear. Morel’s family, who praised her as a gifted and determined rider, expressed no blame but demanded systemic change to prevent future tragedies. Her employer has already updated safety protocols, and Racing NSW is urged to formalize reporting guidelines. The coroner’s findings are due August 21, and Morel’s legacy lives on through two lives saved by her organ donation.
