Aussie jockey Tye Angland has been declared quadriplegic following a fall in Hong Kong late last year.
Angland came off after his mount Go Beauty Go stumbled out of the barriers at Sha Tin on Sunday, November 25.
The 29-year-old hoop had surgery at a local hospital where he remained for two weeks before being flown to Sydney.

The Australian Jockeys Association released a statement providing an update on Angland's condition on Tuesday.
"As you are aware, Tye suffered a spinal cord injury when he was dislodged from a horse whilst riding in Hong Kong on Sunday 25 November 2018," the statement read.
"We now have confirmation that as a result of the fall, Tye is now a quadriplegic.
"Tye has some movement in his arms but is unable to walk.
"Tye remains at the Royal Rehabilitation Centre in Sydney as he continues his recovery and rehabilitation.
"Together, the family are currently working with a range of stakeholders in terms of co-ordinating and financing Tye’s ongoing care and the family’s long-term needs.
"His wife Erin, and the couple’s three children, Alexis, Addison and Rylan continue to be amazed by the support they have received and wish to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to them."
There has again been an outpouring of support for the Sydney-based Angland, with the racing community rallying around him and his family.
Angland has ridden 11 group 1 winners in his career, including the 2015 Australian Oaks aboard Gust of Wind, making him the last jockey to pass the post before Winx.
