Apprentice Jean Van Overmeire has got the all-clear for any fractures after a fall at Kembla Grange.

Overmeire, who came off shortly after the start of a race on Saturday, was taken to Wollongong Hospital for scans which cleared him of any fractures.

Fellow junior rider Ashleigh Borg has been taken to Penrith Hospital after a trackwork fall on Monday at Hawkesbury.

She was conscious but suffering soreness in her hip region.
