Keith Yeung Ming-lun has miraculously escaped serious injury for the second consecutive weekend after another nasty fall at Sha Tin on Sunday.

Yeung was conscious and communicating before heading off to Prince of Wales Hospital after coming down hard from the Michael Chang Chun-wai-trained Felix The King.

Felix The King rolled over the top of Yeung after the galloper appeared to clip the heels of eventual winner Ernest Feeling as the field cornered for home in the Class Five Chung Chi Alumni Handicap (1,400m).

Initial scans cleared Yeung of any serious injury, but the jockey was set to remain in hospital for observation overnight after suffering concussion in the fall, which rules him out of at least Wednesday night’s all-dirt meeting at Sha Tin.

Yeung’s mishap comes a week after the 34-year-old was left counting his lucky stars after a brutal fall early on the Hong Kong Derby undercard.

After Royal Agility completely lost his way entering the straight and crashed through the running rail, Yeung landed flat on his back where the Sha Tin turf meets a drain and the ambulance road between the main track and the all-weather surface.

He ended up prone on the concrete as Royal Agility smashed through another fence before collapsing on the dirt track, but he walked away and was able to watch the Derby from the comfort of his couch.

While Royal Agility survived that incident and was found to have bled, Felix The King was not so lucky and had to be humanely euthanised by Jockey Club vets.

Yeung, who only has seven wins through the first 56 meetings of what is proving to be a challenging season, was replaced aboard his remaining rides, with Harry Bentley (Millennium Falcon), Vagner Borges (Pegasus Hero) and Antoine Hamelin (Happy Daily) stepping in to fill the void.

While the Benno Yung Tin-pang-trained Millennium Falcon finished 10th, Borges lifted Me Tsui Yu-sak’s $184 roughie Pegasus Hero into second at $29.45 the place before Happy Daily ran fourth under Hamelin for Peter Ho Leung.

While Hamelin could not get the chocolates aboard Happy Daily, the French jockey did enjoy a double earlier on the card thanks to the wins of Ernest Feeling and Forever Folks.

After winning the race in which Yeung came down, Hamelin shocked punters aboard Chang’s $41 outsider in the Class Four United Alumni Handicap (1,600m).

Hamelin’s third brace of the season took him to 13 wins for the campaign, and he was one of few who enjoyed the persistent drizzle on a day that reminded him of home.

“It’s a really good day, I love the track – it’s a bit wet, a bit like in France,” he said.
