Grand National-winning jockey Ryan Mania has been airlifted to hospital after he suffered a fall in a race this afternoon.
Mania was conscious as he was taken to RVI hospital in Newcastle for further assessment on neck and back injuries.
He was reported in stable condition, though he was described as very sore after what appeared to be a kick between his shoulder blades.
His fall at Hexham occurred a day after he won on his first ride in the Grand National at Aintree racecourse in Liverpool.
Clerk of the course James Armstrong said: "All I can say at the moment is he's conscious and talking, and he is being taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle for further assessment.

The Scotsman, who steered Auroras Encore to a famous 66-1 success, was linking up once again with trainer Sue Smith in the St John Lee Handicap Hurdle.
However, his mount Stagecoach Jasper came down early on the final circuit.
Some 25 minutes after the race, the 23-year-old Mania was still being attended to on the track by medics.
With the covers up, there was a delay to racing following the arrival of the air ambulance.
Mania was seen being put into the air ambulance on a spinal board before being taken to hospital.
Mania was attended to on the track and then taken to hospital Mania was riding at Hexham just hours after posing for photographs with Auroras Encore at his stables in West Yorkshire.
He said: "You do maybe worry that something might happen but something can happen riding him at home - it can happen any time so you kind of just put that to the back of your mind really, and concentrate on winning, concentrate on riding the race.
"What will be will be."
The jockey had to leave the photocall before the horse's traditional trip to the local pub in order to get to the Hexham meeting on time.
Mania was scheduled to ride in two races.
As well as the horse that fell, he was booked to partner Twice Lucky in the Primary Websites Handicap Chase at 4.25pm.
Ewan Whillans took over the ride on Twice Lucky.
The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle Mania is a former point-to-point rider from Galashiels in the Scottish Borders.
His Grand National victory on Saturday marked a dramatic turnaround in his career, which was temporarily halted when he spent six months out of racing and working in the hunt service after his former boss Howard Johnson lost his training licence.
He became the first Scottish-born winning rider of the world-famous steeplechase since 1896, when David Campbell won on The Soarer.
