Champion Flat jockey Jim Crowley was released from hospital on Monday evening but fellow rider Frederik Tylicki was in a "stable" condition in intensive care following a four-horse incident at Kempton that led to the meeting being abandoned.

Crowley and Tylicki were unshipped from their mounts in the Breeders Backing Racing EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes, along with fellow riders Ted Durcan and Steve Drowne.

While the latter pair walked away from the incident, Crowley and Tylicki were taken to hospital in Tooting with suspected spinal injuries.

The Injured Jockeys Fund later announced Crowley had been allowed home, and that Tylicki remained in intensive care but was conscious.

A statement said: "Following the incident at Kempton Park racecourse this (Monday) afternoon, jockey Jim Crowley has been discharged from St George's Hospital, Tooting, to return home with his family.

"Freddy Tylicki, also involved in the incident, is in intensive care in a stable condition.

"He is conscious and there will be a further update tomorrow (Tuesday) once more is known."
