An updated statement on Hong Kong based Jockey Tye Angland was released yesterday as to his current condition after his fall in November....

As you are aware, Tye had a fall at Sha Tin, Hong Kong on Sunday 25 November following which he remained conscious throughout.

“Tye underwent surgery at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong where he remained in the Intensive Care Unit for two weeks. Following this, Tye was able to transfer to Sydney with the aid of a medical team.

“Since returning to Australia, Tye has undergone a second surgery for his injuries. Tye currently remains in Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney.

“As a result of the fall, Tye had a fracture and dislocation of the spine as well as a spinal cord injury. The spine has been stabilised and realigned.
