Reality TV star KC Osborne has revealed just how close her fiancée – Aussie jockey Blake Spriggs – was to dying following his horror fall at Moruya on January 17.
Spriggs, 32, sustained multiple serious injuries, including to his head, shoulders, chest and internally following an incident involving fellow hoop Beany Panya.
When quizzed if Spriggs is eyeing off a return to racing, Osborne stressed the couple – and their son Brooklyn – are taking a cautious approach.
‘He’s just mentally weighing everything up,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘We’ve got a few more scans that need to be done over the next few months.
‘It really depends on a lot of things, whether the doctors and specialists will let him go back riding.
‘I think for Blake, what’s so scary is how close he was to dying. He had five blood transfusions while in the helicopter to the hospital.’
Spriggs knows he cheated death – and Osborne confirmed he had shoulder surgery a fortnight ago after fractures on both sides – and also broke multiple ribs, suffered two punctured lungs and had a haemorrhage near his liver.

Additionally, Spriggs was placed in an induced coma.
If that wasn’t enough, Spriggs got pneumonia while in hospital and his kidneys were failing, so he had to go on dialysis.
Osborne labelled her husband the ‘miracle man’ – and said he was determined to see the couple’s son Brooklyn grow into a boy from a toddler.
‘Now he is doing really well. He’s up walking around. He’s eating. He’s quite vibrant,’ she said.
‘He’s really positive because he loves doing his physiotherapy and he’s determined to get back really strong again.
‘It’s now just the broken bones that have to heal. He’s just been incredible with how he’s dealt with such a horrible, crazy accident.’
Group 1-winning rider Spriggs moved to Queensland from NSW shortly before the incident.
The family of three are based on the south side of the Brisbane River, a short trip from the Eagle Farm training facilities.
