Deanne Panya taken to hospital after horror fall at Rosehill
ALL races at Rosehill have been moved back 30 minutes after apprentice jockey Deanne Panya was taken to hospital after being involved in a nasty fall in the second race on the card.
The 24-year-old Panya rode Sebring Express in the Widden Stakes and was cramped for room as she attempted to make a play for the front 300m out. The horse became unbalanced and took a tumble.

Panya – who shot to fame at the Magic Millions carnival after steering Testashadow to glory in the Cup at $31 odds – was said to be conscious on track but complaining of chest pains.
The Widden Stakes was taken out by the Michael Freedman-trained Teaspoon which remained unbeaten in two career starts with Hugh Bowman in the saddle.
