Australian jockey Dean Holland died as a result of injuries sustained in a fall during a race in regional Victoria state on Monday, Racing Victoria said.

The state's horse racing authority said the 34-year-old Holland was one of two jockeys dislodged from their horses in the opening race of a meeting at Donald Racecourse.

He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. The other rider, Alana Kelly, was cleared of serious injury.  Both horses -- Headingley, ridden by Holland, and Time To Rumble, ridden by Kelly -- were unharmed, Racing Victoria said.
