The well-known horseman J. N. McGregor, who easily holds the record in Australasia for the number of serious falls and injuries he has received whilst riding over fences, first in New Zealand and then in Australia, where in pre-war times he was the leading hurdle horseman, met with another bad fall whilst steering Amberise in the hurdle race at the Sandown Park races in Melbourne during the holiday period. Amberise came, to grief early in the race, McGregor being thrown heavily, sustaining severe cuts about his face.
