You can only speak to what you know. If I'm calling a race and I see a rider stand-up after a spill I will often say, "Pleased to report that [name] is on his feet and has appeared to escape serious injury for the moment." The same for a horse if he/she is up and galloping around with no significant issues apparent. I truly cannot say anything beyond that and doing so would be inappropriate. Word on the health and status of a jockey or horse needs to be official word - and I think this all applies to the events of yesterday.
