One of harness racing's biggest names, Ricky May, is in hospital after collapsing in the middle of a race in central Otago, after suffering a medical event.
May is a seven-time winner of the NZ Trotting Cup, New Zealand's biggest annual harness race.
Yesterday afternoon he was driving the race favourite - A G's White Socks - in the Central Otago Cup at Omakau racecourse, when he appeared to fall back in the sulky while the horse continued to race, then fell onto the track.
Matt Markham was at the races
