Hospitalised jockey Leah Kilner made a touching plea with her first words after waking from a coma.
The 24-year-old has been receiving treatment in her native Australia following a serious accident at Grafton Racecourse. Kilner was badly hurt when her mount Stella's Turn came down mid-race on July 3.
Rushed to hospital after coming off the two-year-old filly, the young rider was placed in a coma as she battled her injuries. She had surgery to release the pressure on her brain at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane. Kilner also broke her collarbone and ribs during the high-speed crash, which concerned the racing community.
