CHAMPION young jockey Chad Schofield has two broken arms following a fall at Geelong races.

The 20-year-old fractured both upper arms when he was dislodged from Classic Charm near the 900m mark of the Briseis Cup.

After he regained consciousness and was treated by paramedics, he was rushed to Geelong hospital.

His manager Mark Van Triet said "he is not in a good way".

"He has two broken arms and is in a fair bit of bother. He is in the Geelong hospital and we're just hoping for the best possible outcome," he said.

The fall came just hours before Schofield, who won last year's Cox Plate as an apprentice on Shamus Award, was to begin a 12 meeting suspension for careless riding from Friday night's Moonee Valley meeting.

He has endured a dramatic past six months. He suffered a fractured vertebrae in his neck in a fall at Cranbourne in early June and has mixed dazzling form with significant time under suspension.

He recently completed a 31 meeting suspension on an improper riding charge and immediately rode a double at the stand-alone Ballarat meeting, another at Moonee Valley and winners at the Valley on Friday night and at Sandown on Saturday.

This latest injury will keep him out of the saddle for some time, again stalling his quest to revitalise his fledgling but distinguished career.
