Vale, Dean Holland - Go Fund Me Tops $900,000

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 25

Group 1-winning jockey and father of four young children, Dean Holland, has been remembered as a wonderful father, son, brother, partner and fun-loving friend.

Holland, 34, died tragically after a shocking race fall in rural Victoria on Monday.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up by racehorse breeder Tony Ottobre with a goal to raise $500,000 for Holland's partner, Lucy, and their four children.

On Wednesday afternoon the total has surpassed $900,000!
