Ken Browne was last night still fighting for his life in Waikato Hospital.
The 67-year-old Waikato horseman's condition has stabilised, but he is gravely ill and the medical prognosis is grim.
There are real fears he will not survive the injuries he suffered when he broke his neck falling from a horse on his Cambridge property on Tuesday morning.
He is on a life support Machine and can breathe only with the aid of a respirator.
Because it is believed Browne has some awareness of his surroundings, yesterday afternoon a radio relayed a commentary of the Great Eastern Steeplechase at Warnambool in Victoria.
The race featured the Browne-trained Fair Brother.
Fair Brother was given a lovely trip behind the leaders for most of the race, but was under pressure to see out the extreme distance a fair way from the finish and faded to be among the tailenders.
