MELBOURNE, Dec 18 AAP - Jockey Brad Rawiller has been examined and discharged from hospital after a spectacular fall at Ballarat on Sunday.

Racing Victoria said Rawiller appeared to have escaped with what may be mild concussion.

His mount, first starter Dashaux started bucking after the start of the 1400m maiden race.

Rawiller held on as long as he could but was catapulted high in the air and crashed heavily to the turf.

The jockey had ridden five winners since Thursday inckluding a double at Flemington on Saturday aboard the David Hayes-trained filly Vintage Triumph in the Beachside Hcp (1420m) and the Peter Moody-trained Elusive King who won the Comic Court Hcp (2000m) on protest.

He also won the first race at Ballarat on Sunday.
