Campbell Rawiller suffers nasty injury after Warrnambool fall
Young gun Campbell Rawiller has suffered a suspected broken collarbone after falling from his mount Teofilo Star in the opening race at Warrnambool.
Sent around as a -555.56 favourite with horse racing bookmakers, the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained jumper was well supported in the opening event to the new jumps racing season.
However, in the early stages of the event, Rawiller and Teofilo Star would lose their footing at the third jump, taking out Darryl Horner Jnr and Serenade The Stars in the process.
Both horses returned to the mounting yard with no injuries to report, as did Horner Jnr.
Rawiller was on the track for some time post-race, with on-course reporters claiming he was talking to the medics.
Rawiller was transported to the hospital with a suspected broken collarbone.
Following a 70-minute delay, Calvi would win the second race on the Warrnambool card, with Horner Jnr recovering from the fall to pilot Eric Musgrove’s runner to victory.
