Jockey Kerrin McEvoy broke a bone in his hand in a mishap prior to the fifth race at Randwick on Saturday. McEvoy was thrown from his mount, Sugar Bella (Aus) (Not A Single Doubt {Aus}), on the way to the start when he sustained the injury. Racing NSW stewards reported McEvoy would require surgery.

McEvoy has enjoyed a productive season, most prominently as the regular rider of The Everest and G1 Darley Classic winner Redzel (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}). He won last year's G1 Melbourne Cup aboard Almandin (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}).
