It seems nothing can stop Toowoomba apprentice Amy Taylor from trying to achieve her personal goals for the racing season after her victory on Rumba Jack at Eagle Farm.

Taylor, 21, whose ambition is to win the Brisbane apprentices' title, was badly concussed after being thrown from a horse at the Toowoomba jump-outs on Tuesday.

She was taken to hospital and lapsed in and out of consciousness before being discharged on Tuesday night.

"A horse I was on flipped over backwards and I cracked my head," Taylor said.

"I was taken to hospital and I woke up once and remember seeing my Mum but I passed out again twice.

"The doctors did a CT scan and everything was fine so they let me go home but I had to return this morning for a final check-up before they would let me ride."

Taylor defied her headaches to produce a copybook ride on Rumba Jack, who cruised to a 1-3/4 length victory over Rotarian in Wednesday's Highland Handicap (1000m).

Winning trainer Michael Nolan experimented by using a tongue-tie on Rumba Jack and instructed Taylor to ride the four-year-old back in the field.

"Amy's had a few headaches since the jump-outs but she's very tough," Nolan said.

"It was an experiment to take a sit on Rumba Jack and use a tongue-tie on him for the first time.

"He's a fast horse and we'll give him his chance in a class six on a Saturday next time."

Taylor, who won the Toowoomba apprentices' title last season, will finish her indentures in October next year.

Meanwhile, an old remedy recommended by former top trainer Roy Dawson helped pave the way for his son, Paul, to break a city drought with Tower Bridge in the Petrol Lager Handicap (1000m).

Tower Bridge, who scored an impressive two-length win, was having his first start for Dawson after failing to win in seven central Queensland starts for trainer Mark Lehmann.

"He had a problem and couldn't stop urinating when he first came to me," said Paul Dawson.

"He kept flooding his box so I asked Roy for some advice and he told me to use iodine.

"The old trainers used iodine years ago to help stop horses from dehydrating and the problem this horse had stopped within 48 hours after I gave him four drops in his water day and night.

"Dad won a Tatts' Cup with a former New Zealand horse called Coe and he had the same problem."

Roy Dawson, 82, is regarded as a Queensland racing legend and he retired from training two years ago.

Tower Bridge was bought as a tried horse in Victoria by central Queensland paint contractor Merino Katsanevas following five placings in nine starts before he was sent to Lehmann.
