A jockey died following a fall from his horse at a meeting in Victoria state on Monday, plunging Australia's racing community into mourning. Dean Holland was riding three-year-old Headingley in the first race at Donald, a town northwest of Melbourne, when he was thrown to the ground as his horse hit the inside rail. On-course paramedics immediately went to Holland's help but he died from his injuries aged 34, Racing Victoria said. Another rider involved in the incident was not hurt, nor were their horses.
