Khumalo was taken off the ride and was replaced by Tristan Godden. The horse won the race.
Reports from Hollywoodbets Greyville indicate Khumalo appeared to be fine but the on-course medics felt he needed to be checked out fully and be X-rayed as a precaution.
He will be automatically suspended for 48 hours and thus unlikely to ride at Turffontein on Saturday.
