Vale Apprentice Rider Marina Morel

It is with much sadness that Racing NSW advises the passing of apprentice jockey Marina Morel.

Marina, aged 30, died as the result of injuries sustained after a tragic fall during trackwork at Gulgong on Tuesday (February 8).

The popular young rider was airlifted to Westmead Hospital following the incident, where she remained in intensive care up until her passing on Saturday, February 12th.

Marina, a French national, arrived in Australia in 2014 before pursing her Racing interest.

She went on to ride trackwork for trainer Luke Thomas at Cessnock, prior to joining the Brett Thompson stable in 2021 where she went on to be licensed as an apprentice jockey.

Marina achieved her goal of becoming a jockey and went on to participate in 10 race rides.

Racing NSW extends its deepest condolences to Marina’s family and many friends.
