A fundraiser for the Injured Jockeys Fund that Graham Lee's daughter set up has reached over £150,000.
Galway native Lee has been diagnosed with an unstable cervical fracture after being unseated from his mount Ben Macdui as the stalls opened in a sprint handicap.
He remains in the care of a medical professional at Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.

But the horse racing community and beyond has been quick to gather around the Lee family and lend their support.
Graham Lee's daughter Amy set up a Just Giving page for the Injured Jockeys Fund in the aftermath of her father's horror fall.
And the fundraiser has incredibly now raised over £150,000 as donations have come from trainers, fellow jockeys, owners, racecourses and many punters.
The Injured Jockeys Fund is an organisation that helps support jockeys and their families.
Legendary jockey Tony McCoy is the president of The Injured Jockeys Fund and also a close friend of Lee.
Speaking on ITV's coverage of Cheltenham on Saturday, McCoy struggled to keep his emotions in check as he gave an update on Lee.
"It's been the most horrendous week," said McCoy.
"One little positive thing would be that Ritchie McGrath and his wife Becky FaceTimed me with Graham last night... but when I say the most horrendous week I really mean that."
Fellow ITV pundit Ruby Walsh stepped in as McCoy tried to keep his emotions in check before McCoy continued:
"He had an operation to stabilise his fractures on Wednesday. There is a lot of swelling and bruising around the spinal cord - it's going to be a long road, you know.
"It is a long road and it'll be a long road for Becky and the family. We never know in the world where things can go, and what medicine is bringing us.
"With a bit of luck God can be good, and I think everyone would like him to be good right now."
