"She's got a couple of fractures in her left hand and some abrasions, but I don't think that is going to be the main concern," Peter Meilak told racing.com.<\/p>\n

"She'll recover from that pretty quickly but given the circumstances, I just said, 'Take all the time you need. When you are right, then come back, but there's no pressure to come back at any particular time'.<\/p>\n

"She was pretty close to Dean and her family is pretty close.<\/p>\n

"Look at everyone else that wasn't involved in it. Look at how hard everyone is taking it, so I can't imagine what Alana is going through."<\/p>\n

\"Alana<\/p>\n

Meilak said the wider racing industry had rallied around the 23-year-old rider in the wake of the fall.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"It's been amazing and I'm still receiving messages this morning from people thinking of Alana and wanting the best for her," he said.<\/p>\n

"Alana's young, she's strong and obviously we've got to give her time to deal with things and not just her injuries.<\/p>\n

"I'd be very surprised if she came back before mid-May at the very earliest."<\/p>\n
