A race fall at Kembla Grange means Tyler Schiller will have to secure medical clearance before tackling his rides at Wagga and Hawkesbury this week.

During the second race on Wednesday, Schiller rode Hawkes Racing’s Winters Kiss, a mare who was vying for the front and set to challenge right to the wire before something gave way inside 200 metres.

Efforts to steer her clear resulted in the jockey being thrown off and colliding heavily with the turf.

Despite rising quickly, he was barred from continuing his rides for safety reasons.

Racing NSW chief steward Tom Moxon, who wasn’t on site at Kembla, coordinated with the stewards there and noted Schiller dodged severe injury yet needs a doctor’s note to ride further.

“It was a heavy fall, and his head did make significant contact with the ground,” Moxon said.

“He was assessed by the ambulance officers, and he was cleared of any injury, including concussion. He wasn’t showing any signs of concussion.

“But he will need to provide a medical clearance before he can ride again.”

Ranking ninth among Sydney jockeys currently, Schiller has one ride lined up at Wyong Thursday and eight at the Wagga Cup meeting Friday, highlighted by Bianco Vilano in the top contest.

His weekend includes nine mounts in 10 races at the Hawkesbury standalone card Saturday, featuring Chris Waller’s Captain Furai in the Gold Cup (1600m) and Burma Star in the Hawkesbury Guineas (1400m).
