Jockey Chelsea Ings has been taken to Westmead Hospital with suspected concussion and facial injuries following a race fall at Hawkesbury.

She was knocked unconscious in the fall but became responsive to the attending ambulance officers shortly after.

The incident comes less than a week after jockey Jenny Duggan suffered a small fracture to the base of her skull as the result of a fall during the final race at the Scone Cup meeting on Friday.
